Ryo Kawasaki's 1979 album Prism on Inner City Records stands as one of the finest examples of Japanese fusion music in the decade. The guitarist's crystalline tone cuts through intricate arrangements that balance jazz harmony with funk grooves and subtle electronic textures. Kawasaki's compositions are sophisticated without being academic—there's a real swing and joy in the interplay between bass, drums, and his precise, singing guitar lines. This is fusion music with genuine compositional depth. Prism remains sought-after; finding it in good condition takes patience and luck.
