This compilation brings together rare live tracks and studio recordings from 1969 to 1971, including original compositions and four cover songs among Steve Marcus (Count's Rock Blues), The Beatles (She's A Woman) or Bacharach/David (This Guy's In Love With You). The Count's Jazz Rock Band is a short-lived instrumental Jazz & Blues Rock group formed by guitarist Kenji Omura, bassist Takeo Yamamura and drummer Martin Willweber. Kenji Omura was a regular sideman of jazz keyboardist Jun Fukamachi and a session musician for the Yellow Magic Orchestra, while Martin Willweber studied at the prestigious Berklee College of Music. Both joined Jun Fukamachi on stage, in particular for the Triangle Session tour in 1977 featuring The Breckers Brothers. Count's Jazz Rock Band is probably a wink to the Steve Marcus album's "Count's Rock Band".
