Hiroshi Yoshimura "GREEN" (1986)
Hiroshi Yoshimura «GREEN» (1986)
Another long out of print album. This one I believe is the only album of Yoshimuras to be released in the USA.
All compositions and instruments are by Hiroshi Yoshimura, recorded at his home studio and released in 1986.
Sadly, I just recently learned that Mr. Yoshimura passed away at the age of only 63 back in 2003.
Yoshimuras recorded output is very limited and it appears to all be out of print, much of it never even making it onto compact disc.
I have created a folder which gathers material from other of Yoshimuras albums that were spread out in various places all over YouTube if you would like to hear more:
