Recommendation of Wa-Jazz: A Masterpiece of Japanese Jazz—One Must-Listen Album

If you’re not particularly interested in jazz as a genre, you might just think of it as music from abroad.

In fact, here in Japan, we’ve produced many world-class players, and countless remarkable classic albums have been released.

This time, we’re presenting a selection of essential “Wa-Jazz” masterpieces by Japanese musicians.

While focusing on timeless classics from the ’60s and ’70s, the lineup also turns its attention to works released in the ’90s and 2000s.

Please enjoy jazz music with a distinctly Japanese flavor—something a little different from overseas jazz!
