Casiopea (カシオペア, Kashiopea) is a Japanese jazz fusion band.
History
1980–1989: Lineup changes and heyday
Akira Jimbo met Tetsuo Sakurai when Sakurai stood in for Keio University’s big band. Impressed by his talent, Sakurai recommended him as Casiopea’s next drummer, with Jimbo’s first recording with the group being the live album Thunder Live.[1]
In 1989, Casiopea’s contract with Alfa Records ended and the band prepared to transfer to a new label, prompting a halt to group activities, including album production and national touring, as members pursued side projects. During the hiatus, Tetsuo Sakurai and Akira Jimbo formed Shambara, recording and touring with other musicians.[2] Issei Noro and Minoru Mukaiya objected to their simultaneous membership in Shambara and Casiopea, arguing it would hinder Casiopea’s planned restart. Sakurai and Jimbo insisted they could balance both bands, but after the dispute remained unresolved they left Casiopea and formed the duo Jimsaku.
