Jazz Matters Digs Japan

A Sonic Journey through Japanese Jazz! Just last week, I realized it’s been way too long since I shared a mix that dives into the rich, eclectic world of Japanese jazz. So here we are with my latest playlist, Jazz Matters Digs Japan, featuring an irresistible selection of tracks that capture the spirit and energy of Japan’s jazz scene. This collection is packed with music I love, spanning everything from cool grooves and fusion beats to the boundary-pushing experimental sounds that make Japan’s jazz unique. Whether you're a long-time jazz aficionado or new to the scene, this mix is designed to transport you straight to the bustling jazz clubs and hidden vinyl bars of Tokyo, where each artist brings their own flavour to the genre.
