All That Jazz —
Ghibli Jazz ... LP P-Vine (Japan), 2009. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A really great take on the music of Studio Ghibli – one that presents the sounds with very much the jazz promised in the title! The sound is very lean and stripped-down, with a small combo style on most numbers – all instruments handled by Tomoo Nogami, who mixes piano, bass, and drums ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Nice Japanese pressing – with obi!)

P-Vine (Japan), 2011. New Copy ... $27.99 39.99
A nicely expanded version of the great Ghibli Jazz concept – delivered here in a live setting that's maybe got even more brilliance than the studio albums! There's a dynamic sense of presentation right from the start, partly the sense of the concert space in the mix, partly the energy from ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
P-Vine (Japan), 2014. New Copy ... $29.99 39.99
All That Jazz expand their sound here, as you might guess from the winds and wood hinted in the title – using saxes and a bit of strings in a great way over their surprisingly dynamic grooves – almost at a level that seeks to link the club jazz modes of the Tokyo scene with some of the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Grey October Sounds —
Lo-Fi Anime ... LP P-Vine (Japan), 2023. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the coolest projects so far from Grey October Sounds – a set that has all the crispy beats and laidback vibe of previous records, but which also focuses on themes from anime as well! There's plenty of tunes from the world of anime, but they're nicely changed up with the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Great Japanese pressing – with obi!)
Grey October Sounds —
Lo-Fi City Pop ... LP P-Vine (Japan), 2023. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A sweet little record that definitely offers up what it promises in the title – a lower-fi version of the Japanese city pop sound from years back, yet one that's also nicely inflected with some of the hip hop elements that Grey October Sounds use in their music! The image on the cover is ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Grey October Sounds —
Lo-Fi Ghibli ... LP P-Vine (Japan), 2022. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A really cool take on the sounds of Studio Ghibli – one that brings classic melodies from the famous animated features into play with the production talents of Grey October Sounds – who delivers the goods with all the low-fi elements promised by the title! The approach is instrumental ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Grey October Sounds —
Timeless Lo-Fi ... LP P-Vine (Japan), 2023. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Warmly collaborative work from Grey October Sounds – a set that features guest contributors, but all fitting nicely into the laidback groove that we've come to love from this Lo-Fi series of releases! As with the others, there's a nicely crispy vibe that really keeps things interesting ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jun Miyake —
Especially Sexy ... LP TDK/P-Vine (Japan), 1984. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A set that's especially sexy, and especially jazzy too – as Jun Miyake works here with a whole host of American fusion players – a really great lineup who make the record soar! Jun's definitely in the more fusion-oriented side of his music here – blowing trumpet and flugelhorn, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jun Miyake —
June Night Love ... LP TDK/P-Vine (Japan), 1983. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
One of the most soulful sets that Jun Miyake ever recorded – a set that's still very strongly on the jazz side of his musical spectrum, but which also has some strong city pop elements in the production at times! Jun serves up lead flugelhorn solos, in a manner that's inspired by American ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Jun Miyake —
Whispered Garden ... LP P-Vine (Japan), 2022. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Many years back, Jun Miyake went from working in familiar jazz modes to creating a genre that's all his own – music that has a very special vibe, and a sense of subtle beauty that's very much in keeping with the title of the album! It's always hard to describe Jun's music in words – as ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Yoko Nagisa —
Yoko Elegance ... LP Tokuma/P-Vine (Japan), 2002. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A great little record from Japanese singer Yoko Nagisa – an artist who's clearly got a 70s look on the cover, and who really brings that to the record too – mixing in bits of jazz and bits of soul, at a level that maybe makes the whole thing feel like some blend between vintage work by ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Yoshiko Sai —
Takla Makan ... LP P-Vine (Japan), 2008. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Beautiful later work from Japanese singer Yoshiko Sai – tracks that are every bit as sublime as her classics! Sai has this vocal range that's incredible – an ability to slide up and down the scale that's somewhere in the territory of Minnie Riperton or Kate Bush – even though the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
