All Of Me Masayoshi Takanaka (2006) | hoopla

Cover of CD, All of Me by Masayoshi Takanaka. Man skydiving over a dark blue ocean and an island.

All of Me by Masayoshi Takanaka is a true jazz fusion masterpiece. If you’ve never experienced Takanaka before, this is such a great place to start. For a long time, this album was only available on CD or vinyl, so having it easily accessible on Hoopla feels like a gift.

This collection pulls together some of Takanaka’s most iconic early work and wraps it into one perfect package. From the first track, you’re transported somewhere warm and bright. The weather always feels perfect, the sun is always shining, and the ocean is never far away.

The guitar work is smooth but energetic, technical but never overwhelming. It’s the kind of album you can put on in the background and vibe to, or sit down and really listen to and catch something new every time.

If you need music that lifts your mood and takes you somewhere better for a while, this is it. Absolute classic.
