I can't make much sense of what you are saying here. Both the US and Europe have different arts funding practices and both have long had many significant festivals whereas Japan barely has had any (and none which reaches major status) for decades now. It is even more odd when one considers that even South Korea and Indonesia do in fact have much more significant jazz festivals than Japan. You say the situation is different now but the festival situation is no better in Japan in 2018 than it was in 2010. In fact, last year, one of the two jazz festivals of any significance in Japan (the Blue Note Festival) was cancelled so if anything, it's even worse. The author of the article at least attempts an explanation for the strange lack of significant jazz festivals for a country with a jazz tradition of some note.

some Japanese artists found inspiration in jazz classics - pianist Taihei Asakawa plays Bill Evans' "Waltz For Debby" and "Sunday At The Village Vanguard" in the same order as original releases did. Double live album contains his solo piano (against Evans' trio), and Taiheidemosnstrates more avant-garde take on it.

Herbie Hancock's early fusion Japan-only album "Direct Step"(recorded in Japan in 1978) is reissued as RSD 2019 release (on vinyl). Take your chance to get the obscure one Edited by snobb - 05 Dec 2019 at 4:04am |
