LP version. All Right is the 1982 album by the Japanese keyboardist Himiko Kikuchi. It was recorded in Los Angeles in September 1981 at Mad Hatter Studios.
Masatsugu Matsumoto produced the album and plays electric guitar, and shares the writing and arranging with Kikuchi, who is on piano and keyboards and also sings. John Robinson is on drums, Kazuya Sugimoto on electric bass and Steve Forman on percussion. Ernie Watts returns from her debut on tenor saxophone and synthesizer, next to a horn section with Allen Vizzutti and Charles Davis on trumpet. Bernie Kirsh recorded and remixed the session. The seven tracks open with Calling Waves and close with Bunger's Oasis.
