It easily straddles jazz rock and fusion. Mellow, stormy, and groovy.
The sound of born in 1980 is still vivid and fresh when listened to today.
Soul Media, led by Jiro Inagaki, played a part in the development of jazz rock in Japan. This work, "Memory Lane" recorded in 1980, was the final work under
the same name. Inagaki said about this work, "We tried to create this work while predicting the fate of fusion musi"" and it is true that the sound is completely
different from ordinary fusion. The mellow and emotional "Memory Lane" the stormy and refreshing "I Will Give You Samba" and the groovy and edgy "Take My

and performances. It is a masterpiece that is still vivid and fresh when listened to today.
