During World War II, Jazz music was banned by the wartime authorities of Japan, and during the allied forces’ subsequent occupation, jazz was reinserted into Japanese culture just as it was on the cusp of the bebop explosion, playing a major role in Japan’s cultural reconstruction. This compilation collects the finest examples of Japan’s unique interpretation of the music between 1969 and 1984, highlighting the progression from an early copycat style to a thriving period of progressive innovation and experimentation. None of these recordings have ever been released outside of Japan until now, and were previously only available on the original private press LPs which could easily amount to several thousand dollars spent for just a handful of these tracks.

The selection mixes electro, synth-pop, funk, and ambient and includes many sought-after rarities and hidden gems which have never been released outside of Japan and the set has been newly remastered. Nippon Columbia, one of Japan's oldest music labels is also one of its most collectible thanks to its sub-label Better Days which, in the late '70s, became a hotbed for Tokyo's new generation of pop artists eager to experiment with ambient, electro, and funk.

Original release in 1994. This vinyl version has a cover with a photo taken at the 9th Sea Festival held at Nishiki Beach Park Seaside Greenbelt in Osaka. Fishmans is a very unique and distinctive band in Japan. Their music is influenced by reggae, dub and rocksteady. They blend elements of rock, funk and hip hop as well. The result is very special and the sounds are uniquely hybrid. Lead singer Shinji Sato was the group’s principal songwriter and he was an amazing front man and vocalist like no other, but he unfortunately passed away in 1999. After his death many famous artists in Japan covered their signature song ‘Ikareta Baby’ and many other musicians, creators and listener’s of new generations keep loving their music now in the 21st century. As a result of growing popularity, a 172 minute long documentary film 'Movie: Fishmans' was made after being crowdfunded and it will be released in Japan from the 9th of July.

Ryo is one of the pioneers of the jazz fusion genre, with the Japanese jazz fusion \/ funk sound becoming extremely influential within the 80s UK club scene and amongst its DJs. A forward-thinking and ever-evolving musician, Ryo collaborated with the Roland Corporation and Korg on the 'guitar synthesizer' and later wrote music software for computers. 'Juice' has become a much-loved album for crate diggers and jazz-funk enthusiasts, with it's tracks frequently being sampled and re-imagined in hip-hop. The smokey, beat-down, spiritual funk jam 'Bamboo Child' has been flipped by Diamond D, Puff Daddy, and Kool G Rap. The album was released in 1976 on RCA Records and features the musicians' drummer Jimmy Young, rhythm guitarist Hugh McCracken, and bassist Stu Woods amongst other luminaries. A solid album throughout that incorporates a heavy dose of tripped-out synths alongside the emerging disco sound of the time.

Recorded in 1979 on Yupiteru Records, it’s an elusive beast in the field of J Jazz and balances delicate and refined playing with power and vigour. The Kemo Sabe album features bassist Osamu Kawakami, who has performed and recorded with such J Jazz figureheads as Sadao Watanabe, Isao Suzuki, and Kunihiko Sugano. Sax duty is by Toshiyuki Honda, leader of the popular fusion group Burning Waves. On drums is Donald Bailey, the noted American drummer most known for playing on classic Jimmy Smith Blue Note sessions. Bailey lived and worked in Japan for a number of years from the late 70s and recorded several album dates with local artists such including Keiko Nemoto, Isao Suzuki and George Kawaguchi. Recorded at the height of the electric fusion era, Kemo Sabe is an avowedly acoustic album, which may account for the small sales and low profile of the album at the time. The propulsive title track, written by New Zealand jazzman Mike Nock, was gifted to Nakajim- san when they briefly met and was featured on J Jazz: Deep Modern Jazz From Japan vol 3. The reissue’s liner notes features an exclusive interview with Masao Nakajima himself, discussing his career and background to the album.

Hisaishi ranks among Japan’s greatest composers of all time and is famed worldwide for his collaborative work with Oscar-winning director, animator and Studio Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki. Their creative partnership began in 1984 with the post-apocalyptic anime feature Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind and has since developed to the point that they are now likened to other legendary director-composer pairings, including Hitchcock and Herrmann, Fellini and Rota, Leone and Morricone, and Spielberg and Williams. Indeed, Hisaishi’s reputation has been secured by the fact that his soundtracks have won eight Japanese Academy Awards, an unprecedented achievement.

Listening is believing, so I hope these tracks will capture your heart and that you will enjoy the charms of Japanese jazz.\" - Yusuke Ogawa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 track Japanese jazz ('WaJazz') \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ecollection taken from the King Records vaults\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecompiled by Yusuku Ogawa, Japanese music archivist + Wa-Jazz Disc Guide author\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e180g black double vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehoused in gatefold jacket w\/ extensive liner notes + original album art\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: 180G 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eALSO AVAILABLE\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/wajazz-japanese-jazz-spectacle-vol-1-deep-heavy-and-beautiful-jazz-from-japan-1968-84-180g-vinyl-2lp\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWaJazz: Japanese Jazz Spectacle Vol.1 - 180g Vinyl 2LP\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/wajazz-japanese-jazz-spectacle-vol-2-deep-heavy-and-beautiful-jazz-from-japan-1962-85-colored-vinyl-vinyl-2lp\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWaJazz: Japanese Jazz Spectacle Vol.2 - Colored Vinyl 2LP\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e.","brand":"WaJazz","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl 2LP","offer_id":40257159888986,"sku":"fr-4918","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/files\/wejazz-blackvinyl-1.jpg?v=1762283975"},{"product_id":"kikagaku-moyo-forest-of-lost-children-vinyl-lp","title":"Kikagaku Moyo: Forest Of Lost Children Vinyl LP","description":"\u003cp class=\"faq-quote\"\u003e\"\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Kikagaku+Moyo\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKikagaku Moyo\u003c\/a\u003e here sound anything but lost, their child-like wonder manifested in a confident, courageous exploration of sound.

Enlivening their sound with sitars, percussive drums, theremins, wind instruments and ethereal vocals, the band manages to sound powerfully spacious and lazily serene all at once. Their songs can be light as air, or heavy as earth. Many evolve out of intense experiences of engagement with the natural world. The album's first track, 'Can You Imagine Nothing?' was written over a night spent jamming on a suspended footbridge in remote mountains. As the song progressed the bridge began to sway, making band members feel as though they were floating weightless in midair. Kikagaku Moyo started in the summer of 2012 busking on the streets of Tokyo. Though the band started as a free music collective, it quickly evolved into a tight group of multi-instrumentalists. Kikagaku Moyo call their sound psychedelicic because it encompasses a broad spectrum of influence. Their music incorporates elements of classical Indian music, Krautrock, Traditional Folk, and 70s Rock. Most importantly their music is about freedom of the mind and body and building a bridge between the supernatural and the present.

'Sexy Bus Stop' became an instant hit in the country and, taking this opportunity, various Japanese record companies started releasing Disco music.

Most tracks make their vinyl debut outside of Japan and the album has been designed by Optigram\/Manuel Sepulveda and is annotated by DJ Notoya. Audio newly remastered in Tokyo by King Records. A sub-label from the venerable Japanese label King Records, Electric Bird was set up in 1977 to cater for the booming Nippon jazz funk audience that King -- as the Japanese licensee for such US jazz labels at Blue Note or CTI -- had grown for years. Taking advantage of their experience and the many contacts King had garnered through their American partners, Electric Bird, headed by in-house producer Shigeyuki Kawashima, decided to apply the same formula to their new label. Kawashima began signing a new wave of jazz musicians from Japan, putting them in state-of-the-art Tokyo or New York studios and backing them with the best American and Japanese players in order to shape the slick, sun-drenched jazz funk sound that would be Electric Bird's signature sound. With Funk Tide, DJ Notoya aimed at showcasing the diversity of the label's output, from the funky opener 'In The Sky' by Trumpeter Shunzo Ohno to the sunshine mid-tempo groove of sax player Toshiyuki Honda's 'Living in a City' featuring Paulinho Da Costa on perc via Mikio Masuda's Fender Rhodes-infected 'Let's Get Together.' One of Funk Tide's highlights is certainly Katsutoshi Morizono's 'Space Traveller' from 1978, a remake of James Vincent's eponymous cult classic recorded two years before with some of Earth Wind And Fire's musicians and which has since become a favorite on the groove scene. Faithful to Vincent's beautiful laid-back, breezy original, Morizono's rendition add its own spice to it, and ending Notoya's skilled selection of the cutting-edge Electric Bird label on a perfect note.\" - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Wewantsounds\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWewantsounds\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecollection of rare tracks released on Japan's Electric Bird label, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ecompiled by \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDJ Notoya\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eremastered audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes obi strip + printed insert w\/ liner notes, song credits + original album art\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Wewantsounds 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DJ Notoya","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":41272325996634,"sku":"fr-5126","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/files\/djnotoya-funktide-blackvinyl-1.jpg?v=1762285718"},{"product_id":"bbe-music-j-jazz-book-free-modern-jazz-albums-from-japan-1954-88-book-cd","title":"Tony Higgins \u0026 Mike Peden: J Jazz Book - Free \u0026 Modern Jazz Albums From Japan 1954-88 Book+CD","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efirst-of-its-kind book detailing the rich history of jazz music in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ephotos and essays covering more than 500 albums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efrom the curators of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=BBE\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBBE\u003c\/a\u003e's \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=BBE+Japan\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eJ Jazz Masterclass compilation series\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eforward by Terumasa Hino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehardcover\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e392 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes 10-track CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-quote\"\u003e\"\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=BBE\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBBE Music\u003c\/a\u003e is thrilled to present a remarkable large-format book covering some of the deepest, rarest, and most innovative jazz music released anywhere in the post-war era.

This is the first time a book of this type has been has been published outside of Japan and the first anywhere of this size and scale. It is a unique collection of over 500 albums of free and modern jazz recorded and released in Japan during a period of radical transformation and constant reinvention. Through a unique gallery of albums, J Jazz charts the development of jazz in Japan from the first stirrings of the modern jazz scene in the mid to late 1950s and on through the hard bop and modal jazz of the 1960s. It steers the reader into the radical directions of the 1970s when free jazz, fusion, post-bop, and jazz-funk opened up a growing number of Japanese jazz artists to a new global audience before consolidating in the mid to late 1980s with a musical scene that laid the path for the contemporary jazz generation to follow. Over 500 full-colour sleeves from many of the leading names in Japanese jazz sit alongside rare and private pressings that tell a story of constant change and musical exploration. J Jazz includes profiles of several leading record labels such as East Wind, Frasco, King Records, and Nippon Columbia as well as critical independents such as Three Blind Mice, ALM, and Aketa’s Disk. The book also features a chapter on albums by non-Japanese artists that only received a Japanese release, with collectible, rare, and obscure releases by figures such as Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Mal Waldron, Steve Lacy, and Art Blakey. J Jazz includes Japanese jazz charts from some of the world's leading jazz DJs including Gilles Peterson, Toshio Matsuura, Paul Murphy, and Shuya and Yoshihiro Okino. Among the specialist content is a feature on obi strips by record dealer and Japanese jazz expert, Yusuke Ogawa, plus a special article on Japanese Blue Note albums. Across its 300-plus pages, J Jazz includes a detailed introduction contextualising the music, tracing the story of Japan's fascination with jazz back before the war.\" - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=BBE\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBBE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tony Higgins \u0026 Mike Peden","offers":[{"title":"Book+CD","offer_id":41288533966938,"sku":"bk-1552","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/files\/jazzbook-1.jpg?v=1762285738"},{"product_id":"takuya-kuroda-rising-son-vinyl-2lp","title":"Takuya Kuroda: Rising Son (Import) Vinyl 2LP","description":"\u003cp class=\"faq-quote\"\u003e\"Rising Son' was first released on the seminal Blue Note Records imprint 10 years ago in 2014, with Takuya Kuroda being the first Japanese artist to sign to the label.

While Part One focused heavily on music from European techno and house producers, exploring new soundtracks for chill-out rooms and reimagining the future of club culture, Part Two narrows the lens to a unique time and place: Japan between 1993-1999. Despite missing out on the 'Acid House Fever,' Japan's club culture began to take shape in the early '90s. Unlike the rest of the world, where ambient techno\/IDM emerged as a byproduct or response to the scene, 'listening techno' was a central pillar of Japan's club culture from the start. Virtual Dreams II is compiled by Eiji Taniguchi and Jamie Tiller, who previously collaborated on Music From Memory releases such as Heisei No Oto and Dream Dolphin - Gaia. This project is especially poignant as it is the final one Jamie Tiller worked on before his tragic passing in 2023. Jamie had been researching, planning, and compiling this edition of Virtual Dreams even before the first chapter was released, believing that many great tracks in Japan fit the series' concept.
