For Fans Of
Following the classic Wamono A to Z trilogy, this 180g compilation gathers a stunning run of mid-1970s Japanese jazz-funk and rare groove recorded at the Nippon Columbia studios. Arranger Kiyoshi Yamaya's Contemporary Sound Orchestra fused deep funk and big-band jazz with traditional Japanese instruments, joined here by koto legend Toshiko Yonekawa, a Living National Treasure, and shakuhachi master Kifu Mitsuhashi. The result is hypnotic and groovy and unlike anything else, the sound of Japan's avant-garde reimagining its own folk traditions through a funk lens. Essential for any rare groove, jazz-funk, or Japanese music collection.
