Japanese Jazz

[T.D.]

I wanna see it!

I googled and got a couple of hits with full-length video, but they seem to be Russian pirate websites and I'm afraid to click on the links.

DG is showing a number of upcoming Ultra-Vybe CD soundtrack releases from bizarre and cheesy Japanese films. This isn't the only interesting one.

good one. I am partial to Kanai's "Ode To Birds."

[T.D.]

Hadn't listened to this excellent one for a while.

[clifford_thornton]

haven't dug that record out in years. There's another volume under Ron Pittner's name that is good as well (and not on CD).

[T.D.]

Cool. I looked up Pittner on discogs. He released 2 albums as leader, LP only to date. One with Takagi/Kako qt. personnel and the other with Kent Carter and French musicians. Both seem hard to find, no offers or recent sales on discogs.

yeah, I have the one with Claude Bernard, but have been looking for the one with Takagi for many years. Both are elusive.
