You can certainly not divide all the mentioned stylistic aspects from each other for they were all incorporated in a homogenious sound and complex arrangements. It is the same with his other albums like „Benzaiten“ and or his fourth „Masterless Samurai“; traditional Japanese music meets Western jazzrock and progressive sounds to form a new style unheard by most people in Western countries at the time. Osamu Kitajima easily plays with elements of reggae and funk, fusion jazz and colorful pop while staying true to his Japanese roots with bits and pieces of traditional melodies and the use of old Asiatic instruments. The Japanese influence makes this music uniqe and still it gets as close to Western rock and pop sounds as it could. An adventurous journey through the world from East Asia to West Africa and to the steaming metropolises of the UK and USA is your reward when you put this perfectly produced album onto your turntable. The former PINK FLOYD comparison coming with „Benzaiten“ is not totally out of place with this selftitled 1977 album here but there is much more latitude in the allover style. Osamu Kitajima gathers a few well talented musicians around him on this record despite playing and arranging most of the instrumental passages himself. He, the multi instrumentalist who discovered progressive rock music in the early 70s during a stay in London where he released a first album under the monicker „Justin Heathcliff“ before moving to California around the mid 70s. And this group of musicians creates something special that sticks out of the mass of similar art pop and fusion bands in the late 70s. Osamu Kitajima is something like the Japanese answer to Mike Oldfield, and others equal in vision and output! Conjuril This is the best of Osamu's output. The performance by Minnie Riperton ranks as one of the greatest female vocalizations i have heard. she used her FIVE OCTAVE range in its uppermost registers to perfectly portray the effect that Osamu envisioned. truly a masterwork on everybody's parts.the rest of the album is top notch with real stereo recordings of such things as a campfire with bursting embers, a two cycle motorcycle revving its engine over and behind rolling hills and a babbling brook that occupies actual space in a location that you would expect. the Japanese pressing is the best but owning any clean copy should be the goal of any music lover that appreciates the genre that seems to be its own-Japanese Fusion. the instrumentation and expression exhibited here command attention and could cause the initiation of the unique genre that i have given a name. I would hope that Osamu-san would continue this direction that he started with the release of Benziaten and continued through to another disc that i have of his: Epitome. They would all benefit from release on hi-rez, high quality vinyl re-releases utilizing the 45rpm/2 disc method that brings out the vividness and verisimillitude hidden in the master tapes and allowed escape via LP playback. There is a movement going on right now that some audio enthusiasts (with big budgets) are using and that is open reel tape releases in two track, half track, 15 IPS format. this would be a good candidate for this format. ...hifitommy Rleillin this should be played at 45rpm, very mathy sounding Related Music albums to Osamu by Osamu Kitajima Watermark - Channels Only Kleeer - License To Dream Osamu Kitajima - The Source Yutaka - Love Light Nito Mestre Y Los Desconocidos De Siempre - Nito Mestre Y Los Desconocidos De Siempre Everything But The Girl - The Language Of Life Osamu Kitajima - Masterless Samurai Ramsey Lewis - Sun Goddess Masakazu Yoshizawa - Kyori - Innervisions Honzi - One.

In 1975 Palo Alto guitarist William Ackerman (1) coined the term "new- age music" and founded a record label, Windham Hill, to promote atmospheric instrumental acoustic music. New-age music was thus born as a reaction to rock music. Rock music was loud and noisy, expressing a teenage spirit. New-age music was quiet and melodic, expressing an adult mood. New-age music had no vocalist, no drums and no electric guitar. New-age music was, first and foremost, a synthesis. It was a synthesis of cultures (high and low), moods (upbeat, ecstatic, melancholy, spiritual), genres (folk, electronic, jazz, classical, psychedelic), formats (song, symphony, suite, jam) and lifestyles (western and eastern). Since each of these components had existed for decades (if not centuries), new-age music pre-existed itself. The most obvious ancestor of new-age music is classical music itself. Despite the aristocratic way it was presented in the symphony halls and opera houses, classical music had included "mood" instrumental music from the very beginning.

    The Harp in Jazz and American Pop Music Megan A. Bledsoe A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Donna Shin, Chair Valerie Muzzolini Gordon Áine Heneghan Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Harp Performance Bledsoe - DMA Harp Performance ©Copyright 2012 Megan A. Bledsoe 2 Bledsoe - DMA Harp Performance University of Washington Abstract The Harp in Jazz and American Pop Music Megan A. Bledsoe Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Assistant Professor of Flute Donna Shin, Chair Instrumental Performance, School of Music The harp has endured a tenuous relationship with the genres of jazz and American popular music throughout history. While a few harpists have enjoyed successful and significant careers in these fields, the harp is largely absent from mainstream jazz and American pop. The purpose of this dissertation is to ascertain a definitive cause for such exclusion and use this information to identify a feasible path toward further integration of the harp in jazz and American pop music. This paper examines the state of the harp in jazz and American pop from various angles, including historical perspective, analytical assessment, and a study which compares harpists’ improvisational abilities to those of their mainstream jazz instrumentalist counterparts. These evaluations yield an encompassing view of the harp’s specific advantages and detriments in the areas of jazz and American pop. The result of this research points to a need for specialization among harpists, particularly in defining new styles. It is evident that harpists’ careers generally necessitate a working knowledge of various styles of music.
