J-Digs: Japanese Jazz

Japan, 22.11.24

Japanese jazz in the '60s and '70s fused traditional jazz with global influences, from Latin to funk, creating a sound that was both innovative and avant-garde. Artists like Takeo Moriyama, Jiro Inagaki, and Sammy & The Freedom Unity helped shape a distinct musical movement that reverberated through the global jazz scene.

J-DIGS and NTS compile sixty minutes of essential Japanese Jazz to ease your introduction.
