how about try listening to music based on merit and accept that japanese jazz is subpar

How?

Because Japanese makes it better.

Okay but only if you promise me that you aren't doing this because of the fucking Ryo Fukui album

just fucking listen to good jazz without putting the japanese filter on it. Making japanese a requirement doesn't increase the quality of selections, and most of the time it's not as good as Bill Evans, Mile's Davis, Coltrane, etc...
Those are popular for a reason: they're good
Ryo Fukui is popular only because youtube and the fact that he's japanese. There's a very good reason nobody remembered him until the youtube algorithm pushed him up

There are some good jap composers, I already listed enough American jazz

lmao you can listen to jazz for 40 years and not have heard all the great American jazz that has been recorded

Try scandinavian jazz instead. Lot's of innovative stuff. Jazz innovation has belonged to Europe for the last 30 years.

calm down first, lol

Do you have proof she is not female or are you just assuming she isn't because you're scared of becoming teh big gay by accidentally being attracted to a man?

Imagine projecting this hard :p

since the beginning of the black americans inception of organized improvisation colloquially known as jazz, the yellowjack off the shore of brubeck's coast has been purple with envy

for decades they have ceaselessly striven to accomplish anything worthy of note in improvised music. they have not once succeeded

all yellow jazz is passoffable. their strength is found in their obsession with bill evans. but their weakness is precisely because of this love. they are completely

hopelessly

unoriginal

I'm not very familiar with jazz but there's about a 99% chance this is just an assumption based on the meme that everything Japanese is unoriginal.

listen to Soil and Pimp Sessions

I love Japan but their jazz is pretty weak. I prefer their traditional music styles like koto music.

Poptimist / tourist

Jazz is the least country/continent-identifiable genre I can think of outside of pure noise, why do you care if it's Japanese?

of all the shit ive spun, this is the only thing ive listened to more than once

even the guitar now sounds really boring to me, but it was the 90s, and the only decent shit out of the 90s was this

Not much improv here really, but whatever.

>pure noise
I know the noise/free improv scene is pretty good in Japan, but not sure about more conventional jazz.

Just listen to idols

Such as?

Thanks for this, new to me. If this is the best you've heard, then Japanese jazz might be as meh as I imagined. How good oversight do feel like you have?

>Japanese Jazz is Terri-

youtu.be/Fq-KORMeNBE

it's neither really truely either of those things.

Check this out OP
The Seatbelts are great, watch Cowboy Bebop if you havent
Also check out Lamp - ゆめ

Even if fusion was remarkably huge in Japan and J-pop continues to be highly influenced by jazz harmony, it seems to me that Japan lacks a proper scene for pure jazz with focus on improvisation over changes. Am I wrong on this?

Hiromi is a meme btw.

Very nice. Lot's of good players in that big band. Some of these has to play in a few combos. Maybe I am going to seek out whos playing there and see if I can find anything.

When are we going to gas weebs?

He's a weeb and should be gassed for stating the fact that there are good Japanese composers?

Bump

That's a very selective interpretation

How is it a selective interpretation?

by assuming I had in issue with the most inoffensive part of the statement

What else would you have had an issue with?

So there was nothing else you could have had an issue with, is what you're saying.

Now, this is epic

on a serious note why does this board kiss japan ass? im just going to assume the people that you guys are underage there is no way any of you can think their banal copy of western music is good

Nothing is really original.
If anything, modern pop music (including hip hop), which is mostly all electronic, owe it to Germany (Kraftwerk) and Japan (YMO).

@87853697

I wouldn't even call this bait

It isn't a banal copy of Western music, and the Japanese are very good at making music.

Wrong person, meant

enjoy your meme jazz user

just stop listening to jazz

Why? And where did I mention jazz?

Casiopea is a great jazz fusion band

True

Bump

Dude, why don't you go search for some Japanese jazz yourself and post it here instead of merely bumping?

The japanese are way better at having acctual emotion in their jazz. American jazz fucking sucks because it's 100% about theory.

Ok

youtu.be/l_4WcHNjjV0

There's actually some truth to that I think. That's the case for Scandinavian jazz as well.

Like listening to Scenery or Blues For Tee you get so much more atmosphere and human intenstiy than listening to fucking Giant Steps or some shit. Giant Steps and other American jazz classics are good too, but there's nothing but math there. American jazz is a genre of virtuosity instead of emotional connection.

Very nice! I am this guy btw Found that through Spotify related artists (Starting point: Eiji Nakayama).

Thanks

lmao
