Description
[Machine Translation] A hero of the jazz-rock boom of the 1970s, he still has many followers. After playing in the big band "Toshiyuki Miyama and the New Hard," he went freelance and became popular for his regular appearances on the TV music program "Beat Pops," where he was nicknamed "Gentijin" by the host, Keizumi Ohashi, for his uniquely Japanese appearance and friendly character. He led the "Genchers" (a mix of jazz and rock music) and later the "Count Rock Band," playing cutting-edge music with the best musicians of the time. He was also a very successful studio musician, but died suddenly of a cerebral hemorrhage on February 18, 2002 in Nairobi, Africa, where he loved. He was a beloved "Gentijin" who lived with music, nature, children, and Africa throughout his life. As a solo drummer, he produced five albums for Crown from 1970 to 1971. This album is a masterpiece that combines Ishikawa's free-spirited drumming and precise arrangements with the unprecedented project of playing Japanese folk songs in a jazz-rock style. All albums are double-jacketed. This is the first CD reissue of the original recording.
