Product Description

Deep, heavy, and oh so beautiful, Japanese jazz takes center stage in the latest compilation from Universounds - the second volume of Wa Jazz: Japanese Jazz Spectacle. Curated by the one and only Yusuke Ogawa, this collection features some of the finest jazz cuts to come out of Japan between 1962 and 1985, all courtesy of The King Records masters. From the moment you press play, you're transported to a smoky underground jazz club in Tokyo, surrounded by the cool vibes and mesmerizing melodies that define this era of Japanese jazz. The album kicks off with the infectious rhythms of Hiroshi Suzuki's "Romance," setting the tone for what's to come. Tracks like Terumasa Hino's "Merry Go Round" and Akira Ishikawa's "Tropical Feet" showcase the diversity and innovation of Japanese jazz during this time period. Each song is a testament to the talent and creativity of the musicians who graced these recordings, and the passion they poured into their craft. Whether you're a die-hard jazz aficionado or just dipping your toes into the genre, Wa Jazz Vol. II is a must-listen. It's a journey through the sounds and styles of a golden era in Japanese jazz, and a reminder of the lasting impact these artists have had on the global music scene. So sit back, relax, and let the smooth sounds of Wa Jazz wash over you.
