Casiopea - Looking Up/Dr. Solo/Bass Solo *Live 1985*

[@drumstud4u]

the guy not only plays bass brilliantly, he looks like he was born to do it; a great musician and showman, and Akira is pure poetry on the drums; he makes it look so easy, which of course, it isn't I've been playing drums since 1967, and I want to play like Akira when I grow-up...

[@antonioleroybarron1443]

When you grow-up. Jajajaja. Wonderfull man.

[@guy6561]

hows it going brother? its been 8 years. hows life?

Mr. Jimbo didn't start playing the drums until he was 18! Not too shabby for a relatively late starter,

Tuve la suerte de comenzar a escucharlos desde 1978. Gracias a una estación de radio que se llamó Jazz FM 104.1 Mhz en la Ciudad de México. Cuando desapareció la estación acudía a los "tianguis" (mercados de pulgas) para buscar sus CD y llegué a adquirir 8 de ellos. Ahora gracias a youtube los escucho más. Me pregunto si las nuevas generaciones apreciarán a estos geniales músicos.
