J Jazz Volume 2 - Deep Modern Jazz (1969-1983)

£33.00
£33.00

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 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 even the most curious and demanding jazz fan seeking something extra special.
