Seventeen And Blue (黒船) - BACCO Takanaka Masayoshi (audio)

[axebomber1982]

大変美しい曲。歌付きの「黒船」ですね。

Wow, great singing by Jim Diamond! He's recorded many crappy songs over the years, which is a shame if you have such a marvellous voice, but I'm very happily surprised by this one!!!

大変懐かしい曲。

This was done only a couple years before "Rainbow Goblins". Later in the song, Takanaka's solo sounds like some of the Goblins work.

My 1st time hearing this. I like it a lot. Takanaka can write some great music!

[fallenwillrise]

rather a distinct voice. kinda takes some time to grow on me, but its alright. if this is jim diamond when he was younger, id like to hear how his voice has possibly matured over the years.

[fallenwillrise]

is this Takanaka's new band or something? BACCO ???

i cant read japanese, so help me out here.

Takanaka formed the band in 1979 and released just one album "Bacco".

Unfortunately, they broke up soon.

i see, i see. so that was his one of his first experiments. but i see that he grew into quite a symbol of praise in his type of music in japan and through out the world, so good for him.

im only 23...i didnt grow up on this music at all, but i love music, and when i was like 16 or 17 i found the Rainbow Globin concert video at the store. which i still own. it really got me into this sort of jazz and rock.

Ever since ive been very interested in japanese jazz music of all sorts.
