Daydream

This legendary Japanese trumpeter, Terumasa Hino, explores new musical territory in this fusion set. With the help of keyboardist Leon Pendervis and an all-star lineup, including Bob James, John Tropea, Steve Gadd, and Michael Brecker and Dave Liebman on reeds, Hino creates a soulful and groove-driven sound that could easily fit in with the CTI label's roster. The addition of occasional vocals from Lani Groves and Luther Vandross adds an extra layer of warmth to the album. Featuring tracks like "Still Be Bop", "Goin For The Gold", "La Hora Azul", "Sweeter & Sweeter", "Late Summer", and "Antigua Boy", this release showcases Hino's versatility and musicality.
