Ultra Vybe/Takt (Japan), 1959. Used ... $24.99
Hard driving jazz from the Japanese scene of the 50s! The album's one of the best recorded by Nobu Hara and the legendary Sharpes & Flats group – a really swinging set of big band jazz that drives with the power of some of the 60s recordings by the Clarke-Boland Big Band, and which ...

Tadyuki Harada —
Playboy's Theme ... CD Takt/Sony (Japan), 1968. Used ... Out Of Stock
Tadyuki Harada may not look like the consummate playboy on the cover of this set – but the jazz inside is groovy enough to grace the hippest bachelor pads in the 60s! The main focus here is on Tad's baritone sax – blown soulfully and straight, almost like a tenor – and backed ... (Jazz) read more CD
Terumasa Hino Quintet —
Hi-Nology ... LP 
Takt (Japan), 1969. Very Good- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A pivotal recording from Japanese trumpeter Terumasa Hino – done in a crackling electric mode that's a real departure from his earlier work! Terumasa's probably gotten a bit of inspiration here from Bitches Brew (as you might guess from one of the titles, "Like Miles") – but ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Gatefold pressing, XMS 10020 CT. Cover has some wear, and a bit of seam splitting.)
Hiroshi Suzuki/Takt/Lawson (Japan), 1969. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... Out Of Stock
An excellent early album from Japanese drummer Masahiko Togashi, featuring a group that he co-led with trombonist Hiroshi Suzuki! The quintet's got a sound that's kind of a messed-up take on the Blue Note groove of the 60s – particularly the Lee Morgan rolling funky soul jazz sound of the ...

Takt/Sony (Japan), 1967. Used Gatefold ... $24.99 29.99
One of Sadao Watanbe's excellent late 60s bossa albums – beautifully rich, but mellow readings of bossa nova numbers – in a way that takes music that had already been introduced to Japan a few years earlier, and gives it even wider exposure with Sadao's wonderfully soulful, jazz-based ...

(Out of print – and includes insert. In a cool textured gatefold cover – like the original album!)
Sadao Watanabe —
Jazz & Bossa ... LP Takt (Japan), 1966. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Beautiful bossa nova from 60s Japan – groundbreaking work from the young Sadao Watanabe! Like one of his obvious influences, Stan Getz, Watanabe had a great role in bringing the bossa nova out of Brazil – taking a music that had already been introduced to Japan a few years before, and ...

Beautiful bossa nova from 60s Japan – groundbreaking work from the young Sadao Watanabe!

Takt/Columbia (Japan), Late 60s. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A really great meeting of talents – legendary reedman Sadao Watanabe, who'd already done plenty to bring the bossa nova to Japan by the time of this record – and a host of Brazilian musicians who further help him expand his groove! The combo is listed as Sadao's Brazilian 8 – and ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Non-gatefold pressing, with insert – YS 7505. Cover has some very light aging, and a small split on the top seam – vinyl is great.)
Sadao Watanabe & Charlie Mariano —
Iberian Waltz ... LP Takt (Japan), Late 60s. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A rare recording from Charlie Mariano's "lost" years in Japan – an under-documented period of his career next to earlier American work and later 70s European fusion! At the time of the set, Charlie was living in Japan with (then) wife pianist Toshiko Akioshi – and opening up ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
