つい先日終わったばかりですが、35年ぶりにソロコンサートを行う事が話題となった小林”Mimi"泉美。77年のデヴューから自らアレンジ/プロデュースを手掛け数々のソロ名義やFlying Mimi Bandでの活動、高中正義バンドやパラシュートなどのテクニカルフュージョンバンドへの参加、楽曲提供、各メディアへの出演、80年後半からはヨーロッパでの活動も多岐に渡り制作の他にもシスコレコードロンドン社長など音楽実業家としての顔を持っていた正に超人。そんな彼女の81年のソロ名義としては2枚目となるジャケットがインパクト大の名作、アーバン・トロピカルな楽曲からレゲエまで素晴らしい構成で中でも冒頭3曲がハイライト。テクニカルな細かなアレンジワークも聴き所です。
