This episode of Japanese Jazz Week we explore the catalog of pianist Masabumi Kikuchi. Masabumi was born in Tokyo in 1939, and lived his early life in World War II and post-war Japan. He studied music at the Tokyo Art College High School, and worked with musicians such as Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis, Mal Waldron & Joe Henderson. Hit play to hear his late 60’s recordings up to his mid 80’s material. 今回お届けする「日本のジャズ」は、日本のジャズピアニスト、キーボード奏者・菊地雅章です。菊地氏は1939年に東京で生まれ、若くして第二次世界大戦を経験し、戦後を生きた人物。ソニー・ロリンズ、マイルス・デイヴィス、マル・ウォルドロン、ジョー・ヘンダーソンらと共に活動しました。今回は彼の60年代後期から80年代中期の作品を楽曲を中心にお聞きください。Translated by Satoko Akune.

The Reflections

The Reflections

The Reflections has been played on NTS shows including Rich & Johnny's Inzane Michigan , with Talkin' About My Girl first played on 27 July 2016.

At least four bands have performed under the moniker The Reflections:

A New York City vocal soul group formed in 1971.

They also served as Melba Moore's background vocalists during a 1972 tour. In 1971, Melba was preparing for a tour and required some singers for a Gospel section of her act. What began as a two and a half week run, developed into a three-and-a-half-year tour. They recorded for Capitol in the mid-'70's, and made one chart number, 'Three Steps from True Love,' in 1975. It was their lone Top Ten R & B hit. The track was taken from their album 'Love on Delivery', which was produced by J.R. Bailey. The Executive Producer was Larkin Arnold. Also contained, on that album, is the track 'She's My Summer Breeze', popular on the UK rare groove scene.

The Reflections were also a Pop-Rock/Blue-Eyed Soul group in the early-to-mid 1960s from Detroit, Michigan.

They had one major hit single in 1964 called "(Just Like) Romeo and Juliet", written by Bob Hamilton and Fred Gorman. The song was produced by Rob Reeco on Golden World Records. The disc reached #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #9 on the Cash Box magazine chart.

A UK DIY post punk supergroup and easily one of the rarest titles issued by Cherry Red. The assemblage culls together personnel from Alternative TV (Mark Perry, Dennis Burns), The Lemon Kittens (Karl Blake) and The Door and the Window (Nag). They released an LP titled Slugs N Toads in 1981.

A one-time Louisiana group from 1971, promoted by their original label RSVP as "a five-piece band with only two people in it"--Allis Murray and Harold Collins. Their Unique Sounds of the Reflections album featured an instrumental surf-rock rendition of The Beatles' standard, "Eleanor Rigby".
