JAPANESE JAZZ SPECTACLE - Deep. heavy & beautiful jazz from Japan - 1962-1985 (Volume 2)
A huge, varied, interesting compilation of tracks from Japanese jazz and jazz/fusion bands, collected by Yusuke Ogawa (owner of the Universounds record store in Tokyo).
Extensive liner notes by Ogawa put the WaJazz movement into perspective...

I’m on a #WaJazz kick & this is a great comp. Nardis & Feel Like Majin’ are standout, but there isn’t a bad track. This being #ThreeBlindMice, everything is so well done & it sounds glorious.
Oh, & it’s Sunday, so I’m #writing ‘cos what else is there?

#NowSpinning #AShadeOfBlue, a live set by the #TsuyoshiYamamotoTrio recorded in December 2021.
I got into #WaJazz last year via the Impex Three Blind Mice boxset, in which the Trio feature prominently. I’ve since picked up a few OGs & represses.
This album features a little like a greatest hits with familiar stuff from Misty, Sugar, & Tea, but, it’s really beautiful dynamic music, well pressed & impeccably presented.
