I wouldn't be interested in listening to most of the music that's mentioned and pictured in the article, but what did interest me is the mention of jazz kissatens (cafes) in Japan. How many of these still exist? Perhaps kinuta or someone else can answer that question.

Saw that. Thought it was interesting and bookmarked it for followup research next time I get to go to London.

Thanks! Jazz certainly seems to be alive and well in Japan.
