Blue Nippon: Authenticating Jazz in Japan
E. Taylor Atkins
Japan's jazz community - both musicians and audience - has been begrudgingly recognised for its talent, knowledge, and level of appreciation. Underpinning this tentative admiration, however, has been a tacit agreement that, for cultural reasons, Japanese jazz 'can't swing'. This title explores the true and legitimate nature of Japanese jazz.
