J Jazz: Deep Modern Jazz From Japan Vol. 5 [3LP]

Various Artists - J Jazz: Deep Modern Jazz From Japan Vol. 5 [3LP]

Triple vinyl LP pressing. BBE Music's celebrated J Jazz compilation series reaches it's fifth and final volume in early 2026, culminating in a track list that maintains the exceptionally high standard first set with volume one back in 2018. These hand-picked selections sit alongside other specially chosen numbers that embrace hard-driving samba (Seiichi Nakumura's Judy's Samba), epic head-nodding soul jazz (Masaru Imada's World Line), psychedelic private press fusion (Aoyama Gakuin 101's Fervor), angular post-bop tear-ups (Akira Miyazawa's Nijimasu), intense and insistent fusion (Motohiko Hino's Olive Step), serene cinematic pianism (Hideo Ichikawa's On the Trade Wind) and tripped-out hallucinogenic tribal funky jazz (Masahiko Sato's Garandoh's Africa to Africa).
