[About the Label] East Wind is a groundbreaking jazz label that started in 1975 through the complete cooperation of Ai Music (at the time) and Nippon Phonogram (at the time). For about five years, they produced albums not only of Japanese musicians such as Masahiko Kikuchi, Sadao Watanabe, and Terumasa Hino, but also of musicians who were creatively active in the world jazz scene at the time. Beyond the quality of the performance, the artwork, created by top designers and photographers, was a fresh take on the image of jazz albums up to that point, and had a significant impact on subsequent record production. This is the only leader album by keyboardist Hubert Eaves, who also participated in the Unto Troupe, led by Gary Bartz, who was influenced by Miles Davis. The urban funky performance, overflowing with street vibes, is enjoyable. Hubert also showcases his vocals on one track.
