Jam sessions | JAZZ IN JAPAN
http://www.jazzinjapan.com/new/jam-sessions-2
Jam sessions are the sweaty workout of the jazz world, where musicians go to pump up and get in shape. It’s a classroom, too, where aspiring players can get their lessons and take their lumps. While most professional musicians graduate from these sessions, most nights, after the clubs close, the pros still gather to jam. Shibuya, KoKo, www3.point.ne.jp/ ko-ko/.

Jonathan Katz “East Meadow” (Roving Spirits 2014) | JAZZ IN JAPAN
http://www.jazzinjapan.com/new/jonathan-katz-east-meadow-roving-spirits-2014
Jonathan Katz East Meadow (Roving Spirits 2014). After the bright and lively, East Meadow, the CD moves to standards, with a funky bass riff on Take the ‘A’ Train and delicate, intimate takes on Softly as in a Morning Sunrise and What is this Thing Called Love? Those standards feature re-workings that keep you guessing, and leaning in to hear more and more from his unique approach. Katz’s handlings and arrangements are natural and lively on these well-known tunes. The CD is full of reflective intensity, ...

Satomi Kawakami | JAZZ IN JAPAN
http://www.jazzinjapan.com/new/satomi-kawakami
June 19, 2015. 川上さとみ Satomi Kawakami piano. 菅原高志Takashi Sugawara –drums. Kawakami’s live shows capture her inventiveness and musicality much better than her recorded works, though her CDs are must-have items for any Japanese jazz fan. Live, though, the pleasure of being in a room with someone whose ideas never run out, and who expresses her ideas so wonderfully, is what lingers strongly and resonantly for a long time afterwards.

CD Reviews | JAZZ IN JAPAN
http://www.jazzinjapan.com/new/category/reviews/cd-reviews
Category Archives: CD Reviews. Seiji Tada Oaky-Dokey feat. Mei Inoue. It’s rare that band members fit together so well and seem to take such great delight in the music they create as one. But that in-sync, easy-going, laid-back sound is a real treat, equal parts fun and intense. Junko Moriya Orchestra Play For Peace. This CD of big band jazz is quite unusual. Jazz musicians usually turn to passion or love affairs for inspiration, but this recording turns to Japanese history. Francesca Han Trio Icarus.

Masabumi Kikuchi | JAZZ IN JAPAN
http://www.jazzinjapan.com/new/masabumi-kikuchi
The Slash Trio recordings from 2001 and 2002 would be recommended for fans of music freely improvised at a very high order. But with Kikuchi, all of his recordings are so different in style from the others, and yet, they sound always deeply just like himself. Known to his fans as Poo, Kikuchi will be sorely missed by all who knew him, who heard him and who loved him, which are, after all, the same people. From New York Times. Dr Lonnie Smith Trio. Tribute to Coltrane →. COMPLETE YOUR COLLECTION OF JAZZNIN.
