*Limited Edition* A really groovy album from pianist Kunihiko Sugano, a set that has the leader working on Fender Rhodes, but often with a touch that has the sharpness of an acoustic piano which is then underscored by some strong use of acoustic percussion as well! The album's definitely got the bossa flavor promised in the title kind of a post-bossa version of the bossa jazz trio style of the 60s a bit like the records that Tamba Trio and Milton Banana were cutting in the 70s, but maybe even better overall! The percussionists are all great the album features five of them, all Brazilian and they work alongside bassist Toni Botero and drummer Elis Siabo. Titles include "Samba Medley", "Mood Island", "UFO", "Midnight Sun Never Set", and "Diane".
