1980 private piece by Haitian pianist/SSW Henri Pierre Noël. Total 12 tracks of fusion sound, full of original vibes that combine the piano like percussion with a born-island rhythmic sense. In addition to "Afro-Funk" Groove, Funky Spider Dance, Step (Fan) loved by rare groove fans, we recommend "Roller Skater Rhapsody" led by piano and percussion that create a smooth groove, and the mellow jazz funk "Back Home... Sweet Home". It is no wonder that this album has been loved for many years together with "Piano" released the previous year. It has crackling impression at mainly B-side but still enjoyable we guess (A side is good). Canada Original.
ハイチ出身のピアニスト/SSW Henri Pierre Noëlが残した80年のプライベート作品。ピアノをパーカッションのように弾き生まれ持ったアイランド的リズム感覚を併せ持った独創的なヴァイブに溢れたフュージョンサウンド全12曲。レアグルーヴファンにも愛される"Afro-Funk" Groove, Funky Spider Dance, Step (Fan)に加え滑らかなグルーヴを形作るピアノとパーカッションに先導されるオブスキュア感覚”Roller Skater Rhapsody”やメロウジャズファンク”Back Home... Sweet Home”を当店的にはオススメ。前年リリースの”Piano”と共に長年愛されているのも頷ける素晴らしい作品。静部を中心にチリパチする印象ですがまだまだ聞いて頂けると思います(A面はより良好な印象です)。カナダオリジナル。
