\ /\/ + -------------------- + \/\ /: )/ \(: | | For those of you unfamiliar with the band, Hiroshima (named after | |
| | the Japanese city of Hiroshima) is an Asian-American group best | |
| | known for fusing Japanese music with R&B, pop, world music and | |
| | jazz by integrating traditional Japanese instruments into their | |
| | unique and dynamic blend of music. The Asian-American jazz | |
| | synthesis of Hiroshima s fresh and distinctive sound is far | |
| | beyond comparison to any other group in- or out-side the genre. | |
| | This set is a retrospective or Legacy of Hiroshima's first | |
| | musical decade (1979 1989), which features some of the band s | |
| | most notable songs re-recorded by the band's current lineup. | |
| | | |
| | "When you start looking back at fifteen records over thirty | |
| | years, that's a lot of material to choose from, comments Dan | |
| | Kuramato. So we narrowed the scope to the first ten years, which | |
| | includes five records - two of which were gold. We tracked | |
| | everything live in my home studio for this new recording, with | |
| | almost no overdubs. In many cases, the songs on this record are | |
| | fairly similar to the originals. In some cases, they're very | |
| | different." | |
| | | |
| | Legacy is an invitation to explore Hiroshima's musical heritage. | |
| | For fans of the group, [it s] a welcome addition, for others the | |
| | perfect entry into an unknown world of [unique and cool] sound. | |
