japanese jazz critique books-organ jazz


Recommended Posts

Any of you more 'greasy ' dudes picked up this jazz critique book on jazz organ ....I have a few of them and yes they are mostly in japanese but I have the blue note, prestige,riverside and groove funk and soul ones but not seen this for sale before and wondered if anyone else has a copy yet? :)

and who on here can do decent japanese for me to order it from the site? :blush:

I checked out a copy today and it seems like a good book. Certainly alot of players in it I've never heard of. While the blurb on each artist is in Japanese, one or two of their important recordings are listed in English with song titles and personnel. If you like the other titles released by Jazz Critique Books I'm sure you'll like this one.

If the organ jazz in anything like the Tenor Sax book, I'd pass. While the label books are comprehensive, the genre books are more generic and only list two to three titles per artist tops.

If you absolutely have to have it, check out Dusty Groove's selection of Jazz Critique books... usually discounted and w/o the international shipping.
