If someone asked me to name my favourite jazz-funk album, I’d pick this one.
Sure, Herbie Hancock’s Headhunters and The Crusaders’ Southern Comfort are right up there, but High-Flying is special.
The lineup includes Suzuki and Jun Fukamachi on keys, Masayoshi Takanaka on guitar, Ponta Murakami on drums, and Jiro Inagaki on saxes and flute. And, man, do they deliver!
There’s an original 1976 pressing for sale on Discogs; it’s going for $9800. This 2025 reissue is just 4400 yen. Grab it before it disappears again.

When I first heard about this record, I was quite sure it wasn’t my cup of tea. A prog-rock/jazz-fusion concept album by a Japanese guitarist, based on a children’s story by an Italian author? Sounded pretty far-fetched. Then, one day, I decided to sample it on Apple Music.
Mind. Blown.
This is truly joyful music that is as colourful as the wrapper it comes in.
