Butterfly = バタフライ unites the soulful vocals of Japanese jazz icon Kimiko Kasai with the legendary artistry of Herbie Hancock. Originally recorded in Tokyo in 1979, this collaboration blends shimmering jazz with elements of soul and funk, creating an atmosphere that is smooth, expressive, and unmistakably sophisticated. It’s an album that showcases both Kasai’s unique voice and Hancock’s unparalleled musicianship, making for a captivating listening experience.
This edition, released by Be With Records, delights with a faithfully recreated obi strip and a four-page insert featuring lyrics and credits in both Japanese and English. Revered for its lush arrangements and dynamic interplay, Butterfly = バタフライ stands as a testament to the vibrant fusion of Western jazz and Japanese pop sensibilities at the height of their creative powers.
