For those who might have missed out on Ino Hidefumi, here's your chance to catch up.
The first record I ever heard was his "Spartacus" 7", which is a favorite song of mine (check Gabor Szabo and Yusef Lateef's version). He's since released other 45's plus a full length LP (Satisfaction) and he just dropped a new album, Living Message. Dude's formula is simple - Rhodes + dirty ass drums = beautiful music. You'll like it too.

all versions of spartacus rule!!!
Spartacus is one of my favorite songs as well. The Terry Callier version always gets me! I'm still buggin out on your Clutchy Hopkins tale. True story? Hope is well with you and the fam. I've been paying a little too much attention to the election, starting a new job, and enjoying the beginning of Fall.
