  1. Marvellous...where do you find 'em, Nick?

    Anyway, thanks again for sharing....I'm listening to it whilst typing this. The title says it all...."A Jam in Yokota"

  2. If it has Hino on drums, I'm definitely listening. Keep up the great work - always love a j-jazz spotlight.

  5. Nick, listening to this reminded me of a Japanese film called "Battles Without Honor and Humanity". If you like Yakuza films this is the one to watch. Its telling of the Yakuza's rise in Japan after WW II is chilling. This album would have provided a perfect soundtrack.

    They even came out in the same year.
