KOICHI KAWABE - THE SOUND OF X - INSPIRED BY THE FILM SEX AND LIFE
An album from Japanese composer and trombonist Koichi Kawabe, inspired by the 1969 movie Maruhi Sei To Sekatsu. The title of the film was based on a book by writer and sexual medicine critic Xie Kokuken that came out in the late 60's. Jazzy Latin songs with a woman and a man moaning and laughing while having sex all through the record. Great and very obscure record and a huge thanks to Yoshio for all the information about this record! (and more info about it in the comment section).
