Found Phantasia by chance. I wanted to buy the CD. Hard to find a 1981, right? It looked pretty obscure.
Then I read the description:
This project is a heartfelt tribute to the golden age of Japanese jazz fusion. Through storytelling, music and AI, we aim to reimagine a lost era and evoke the timeless beauty of this genre.
Phantasia wouldn’t exist without the trailblazing work of artists like Casiopea, T-Square, Masayoshi Takanaka, Ryo Kawasaki, and Walter Wanderley. Their visionary labor has profoundly shaped our understanding and love for music.
Thank you for joining us on this journey.
What. AI? So it looks like an AI-assisted (at least) album. And it sounds amazing. Well… it sounds a lot to all these people that is mentioned in the description.
I was kind of amazed on how good it sounds even though the AI keyword is around it. Maybe we’re in a new path on how we enjoy music.
Anyways. Great addition to the world. Enjoy!
