    Recommendations? Not even limited to J-jazz — I used to do a lot more active music searching and I’m trying to get back into that, part of which involves asking random people who like different music than I do for recs

      I’m not a huge Japanese jazz aficionado, but this is some stuff I’ve found over the years and enjoyed:

      • Himiko Kikuchi - Flying Beagle
      • Masayoshi Takanaka - All Of Me
      • Jiro Inagaki - ファンキー・スタッフ (Funky Stuff)

      If you like jazzy stuff in general, maybe you’d like:

      • Lund Quartet - Lund Quartet
      • Portico Quartet - Memory Streams
      • Colin Stetson - All This I Do For Glory
      • BADBADNOTGOOD - IV
      • Snarky Puppy - Lingus

      The Album “Scenery” is a ride. I don’t know much about the genre/scene tbh, but this album cuts through whatever I’m experiencing at the time. It really feels like unfettered expression, and it sounds really pretty.

      Also, the dude was insane on the keys. How the hell someone’s hands can do half of that stuff is beyond me.
