leonmahavishnu Brilliant Music but very disappointed there's only 5 tracks on the digital download. Why not make all of it available and charge more?

ibr Worth it for 'Vietnam' alone...but there is so much more to discover and enjoy.

Faisal Jewell Dragon Dance is the Best Song in the Jazz Compilation Favorite track: Makoto Terashita, Harold Land - Dragon Dance.

mahargnitsua Great music but only 5 tracks?!

about

Following the sell-out success of our landmark compilation, J Jazz: deep modern jazz from Japan 1969-1984, BBE Records is thrilled to present another exploration into the very finest Japanese modern jazz.

J Jazz 2 builds on the solid foundation of the first compilation and sees co-compilers Tony Higgins and Mike Peden once again pick choice sections from their own record collections. They present a deep dive into an intoxicating and beguiling range of styles: from cinematic roaring big-band (Little G by Nobuo Hara) and sparse minimal acoustic funk (Teru Teru Bozo by Teru Sakomoto), to deep spiritual modal epics (Dragon Dance by Makoto Terashita and Harold Land) and funk fusion (Mother of the Future by Electro Keyboard Orchestra). J Jazz 2 delivers more astonishing high quality jazz that will appeal the old school hard-core jazz head as much as those digging the current sounds of the current vibrant jazz explosion in the UK and USA.

The specially chosen tracks on J Jazz volume two span across 25 years of Japanese musical progression and invention. From the elegiac stark beauty of Serenade to a Dimly Lit Street and the modal vortex of Daguri, to the fierce post-bop freedom of Bull Trout and the mid-tempo bossa lilt of Vietnam, there is enough here to satisfy the most curious and demanding jazz fan seeking something extra special. J Jazz 2 is available across all formats

I first heard the song 'Dead Letter' 30 years ago on the J Jazz Compilation and was completely enamored with it. 15 years later I managed to get an original copy on vinyl. I was finally able to hear Tanibachi in its entirety. The fact that this was 4 college students, in 1975 Japan, who made only a single album this incredible, is nothing short of amazing. And the fact that it was so elusive for so long makes it all the more enchanting. Slevin
