Sekito, Shigeo
Special Sound Series Vol. 1: Catch In Alice
Considered by many one of the most gifted and outstanding players in the Electone community thanks to his fresh, energetic, rhythmic and sometimes humorous style of playing, from 1975 to 1977 Shigeo Sekito released a four-LP album set titled 'Special Sound Series' for the iconic Nippon Columbia. On the first chapter of this series, Sekito revisits, in his own colourful style, compositions such as 'You Are The Sunshine Of My Life' by Stevie Wonder, 'Oh, My Love' by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, 'Andalucia' by Ernesto Lecuona, alongside some of his own composition such as 'My Sweet Girl' and the title track 'Catch In Alice,' creating a blend of easy-listening jazz with funk and soul influences. Long out of press, Holy Basil Records is very proud to bring this "brilliant electone" album back on vinyl under exclusive license from Nippon Columbia.
