HCM J-Jazz thing





A year has passed since my last Japanese jazz mix.. so decided to go big this time :)

Two hour mix, with lots of heavy sax and electric piano work!

First hour is traditional / acoustic, starting with a mix I did from different Minoru Muraoka and Hozan Yamamoto albums, it's shakuhachi jazz all the way Baby!!
The second hour is pure Fender rhodes, electric guitar bliss..

Here's what I played:

Hozan Yamamoto – The Suite for Sakuhachi
Hiromasa Suzuki – Ame no Iwayado
