Butterfly

A great album of soulful jazzy tracks -- featuring vocals by Japanese singer Kimiko Kasai, and keyboards from Herbie Hancock and Webster Lewis. Kimiko sings in English, and the record's got some great versions of Herbie Hancock tunes -- including "Maiden Voyage", "Sunlight", "Butterfly", "Tell Me A Bedtime Story", and "Harvest Time". Also features a nice version of Stevie Wonder's "As", and the track "Head In The Clouds". The record's got a nice smooth fusion groove -- post Headhunters, almost in Herbie's late 70s mode for the US, but better!
