• LP
• Ten Japanese jazz-funk and rare-groove recordings
• Selected by DJ Yoshizawa Dynamite and Chintam

Selected by DJ Yoshizawa Dynamite and Chintam, this ten-track collection maps Japanese jazz-funk and rare groove from 1968–1980. Folk melodies sit alongside electric jazz and dance-floor arrangements: Toshiko Yonekawa’s “Soran Bushi,” Chumei Watanabe’s “Downtown Blues,” and Akira Ishikawa & Count Buffalo’s version of Lee Morgan’s “The Sidewinder” show how far the selection travels.
