Following the long-selling "Jazz Side of MOTOWN," Mr. Wakasugi focuses on the jazz label "Impulse! a jazz label founded in 1960, as a popular music label. The label's profound and diverse personality is inverted and reconstructed with the keywords "light, sophisticated, and clear. After the first half of the album, which focuses on funk-like performances, and the middle section, a corridor of grooves steeped in R&B and ethnic music, the second half of the album is filled with blues and bossa nova sounds. The second half of the album is a dazzling mélange of rare grooves, soft rock-style jazz, blues & funk, exhilarating orchestration, Latin, bossa, etc. The second half of the album is a dazzling mélange of blues, bossa nova, and more. The placement of cover songs by The Byrds, The Beatles, The New Vaudeville Band, and others is also heartbreaking, and this disc also contains elements to be enjoyed as a vocal album. In the final chapter, the dinghy glides from New Orleans to Copacabana, and you are left with a comfortable cool down in the logbook.
