This episode of Japanese Jazz Week we explore the catalog of pianist Masabumi Kikuchi. Masabumi was born in Tokyo in 1939, and lived his early life in World War II and post-war Japan. He studied music at the Tokyo Art College High School, and worked with musicians such as Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis, Mal Waldron & Joe Henderson. Hit play to hear his late 60’s recordings up to his mid 80’s material. 今回お届けする「日本のジャズ」は、日本のジャズピアニスト、キーボード奏者・菊地雅章です。菊地氏は1939年に東京で生まれ、若くして第二次世界大戦を経験し、戦後を生きた人物。ソニー・ロリンズ、マイルス・デイヴィス、マル・ウォルドロン、ジョー・ヘンダーソンらと共に活動しました。今回は彼の60年代後期から80年代中期の作品を楽曲を中心にお聞きください。Translated by Satoko Akune.

The Paper Garden

The Paper Garden

The Paper Garden has been played on NTS shows including Brain Dead Radio, with A Day first played on 16 December 2016.

This is one of the better Beatles-inspired US pop/psych albums. It’s a short album (ten brief songs), but still has a bunch of variety and melodic ideas to spare. Lots of sitar, some great fuzz guitar, even gypsy violins and calypso beats. A few good-timey songs at the end of side one may annoy some, but they’re good for what they are, and the rest is even better. Great cover, too. Also released by Columbia in Canada.
