J Jazz: Deep Modern Jazz From Japan Vol. 5

Description

The famous J Jazz compilation series from BBE Music reaches its fifth and final volume in early 2026, with a selection of tracks that maintains the excellent quality established from the first volume in 2018. This final installment presents a diversity of tracks that reflects the richness and variety of the Japanese jazz scene, spanning from the late 1960s to the late 1980s, a golden era of innovation and creativity. Most of the tracks in this collection are reissued for the first time, many having previously been available only on extremely limited and mega-rare private pressings or independent releases. J Jazz volume 5 constitutes a fitting conclusion to a compilation series that has helped create a new audience and appreciation for Japanese jazz.
