New music from James Leibow, Lee Ritenour and a feature on Japanese Fusion

We kick off with some new music from guitarist James Leibow, followed by a live version of the classic Captain Fingers featuring Lee Ritenour. We also have the latest from Japanese drumming sensation Senri Kawaguchi recorded live, and the Katsushika Trio, featuring the legendary drummer Akira Jimbo And we're staying in Japan for the remainder of the program, with a selection of some outstanding Japanese fusion. First up, Naniwa Express, followed by Korenos, featuring Mitsuro Suto, who also makes an appearance on our next track from Trix, dating back to 2005. From there, we move on to guitarist Akira Wada, from the band Exhivision. Next, we hear Daisuke Kunita with a track from his album In My Life followed by Dimension, with a selection from their seventh release, originally issued in 1996 And we round off our Japanese feature with Dimension, before hearing guitarist Koichi Yabori and Tomo Fujita, with a track from his 2006 album Right Place Right Time. A great collection of Japanese fusion to round out the program. Enjoy the music!
