Product Description World premiere CD release, Japan-only release, paper jacket planned. From Toshikazu Kanazawa's Light Mellow Searches, the legendary 80s masterpiece is reissued for the first time in the world! "A hidden treasure of a US quartet that lay dormant in the independent scene of Sweden, miraculously unearthed here! A fresh crossover of AOR and contemporary jazz, unique to the mid-80s. Guitarist Peter Mayer is a talented musician who rivals Pat Metheny. Produced by the genius Jay Oliver, who has toured Japan with the Jay Graydon Band." - Toshikazu Kanazawa PM is a US AOR group that made their major debut in 1988, produced by Elliot Scheiner, famous as Steely Dan's engineer. Left Lane, the band that preceded PM (a quartet consisting of the three members plus a keyboardist), released their only album in 1985 on the Swedish label Sison Music. This legendary and rare masterpiece is now being released on CD for the first time in the world, exclusively in Japan! The central figure, Peter Mayer, is a highly acclaimed guitarist who is frequently used alongside top studio musicians on works by Dave Weckl and Jay Graydon, and in recent years has been active in Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band. The sound of this album, which is much jazzier and cooler than PM, is imbued with intelligence and is extremely unique and of high quality, traversing influences from Pat Metheny to Al Jarreau, Pages, and Gino Vannelli. Enjoy this sophisticated crossover sound, which makes its release in Scandinavia completely understandable.
