Head Rock = ヘッド・ロック
Jirō Inagaki & His Soul Media* = 稲垣次郎とソウル・メディア
Released in 1970, this fusion effort features heavy fuzz-laden guitar work against tight jazz rhythms. The record marks a period where the barrier between hard-bop and psychedelic rock blurred, producing a gritty and refined result.
Captured at the beginning of the decade, the album reflects the adventurous vibe of the Tokyo underground. The arrangements prioritize a muscular, raw groove over high-gloss production values. It stands as a vital point for those researching where world-spanning rock and jazz traditions meet.
