Masayoshi Takanaka - All Of Me
Japanese Import CD
1979 recording
Born in Tokyo in 1953, Takanaka started playing guitar in middle school, influenced by Western artists including Cream, The Beatles and Ten Years After. By 1972, he was performing with Sadistic Mika Band, which became the first Japanese rock band to tour the UK after being invited to support Roxy Music. The band appeared on The Old Grey Whistle Test, where their performance was praised by Jeff Beck.
His solo career produced landmark recordings. His 1976 album Seychelles helped pioneer Japan’s rock fusion scene. Brasilian Skies (1978) was recorded in Rio de Janeiro and Los Angeles with contributions from Ryuichi Sakamoto and members of Toto. His instrumental track “Blue Lagoon” (1979) was a hit in Japan, and Saudade (1982) reached No. 1 on Japanese charts.
He also performed a joint concert with Santana and collaborated with Tina Turner and Little Richard.
