Jake H. Concepcion, a saxophonist from the Philippines who has left a major mark in Japan, released this album in 1983 with top musicians such as Nobuyuki Shimizu, Hiroshi Sato, and Yuichi Tokashiki. The album features a number of tunes that are worth listening to, including "Hong Kong Blues" arranged tune of Hoagy Carmichael, who is also known for his arrangement of Haruomi Hosono, "Pure Imagination," a dreamy mellow funk tune original composed groovy fusion "Tonight The Night"  and "Girl Talk" which has an adult oriented feeling. This thick, stretched voice adds to the atmosphere.
