Description

Released in 1978, Brasilian Skies is one of Masayoshi Takanaka’s most adventurous and globally inspired albums. Recorded across studios in Los Angeles, Rio de Janeiro, and Izu, the album reflects Takanaka’s deep immersion in Latin music, jazz-funk, and free-flowing instrumental exploration. 

Featuring Brazilian session musicians, a samba reinterpretation of Star Wars, and fan favorites like “Disco ‘B’,” the album showcases a warmer, looser sound than its predecessors. Notably, Ryuichi Sakamoto contributes keyboards and string ensemble performances, adding an additional layer of sophistication to the arrangements.

This edition is remastered from high-resolution transfers of the original master tapes and cut by Alex Wharton at Abbey Road Studios, pressed on clear sky blue heavyweight vinyl.
