This live album was recorded during Karizma's first visit to Japan in Tokyo at Sadao Wanatabe's "Bravas Club" on 24 June 1987. It was remastered by David Garfield and re-released in 1998. It's a fascinating blend of fusion and latin played by some of the finest musicians. It's also a great memory of the late Carlos Vega to whom the album is dedicated.
Message from Creatchy (taken from the booklet)
In digging out the tapes and re-mastering this CD, I had the pleasure of getting reacquainted with the events surrounding this project. We were invited to go to Japan and perform at Sadao Watanabe's "Bravas Club" and record our first live CD. It was also our first trip to Japan as a group and we played 4 concerts. The first night was at the "Fish Dance Hall" in Kobe and then the next three were at "The Prime" building in Tokyo. We recorded the last night in its entirety, direct to 2 track and pulled out a CD's worth of material the next day. Not only have I found several out takes and fun bits & pieces, but listening back at this concert has brought back the memory of how great it was to play with Carlos Vega and what a wonderful musician he was! He was a founding member of Karizma and helped to make it what it became. Carlos' performance this night in June of 1987 was amongst his finest and most inspired! He definitely played his ass off! We will all miss him very much. This re-release is dedicated to his memory and he will certainly live on in our hearts and souls.
