O-genki desu ka? Start the week off with some classic music as you cruise through your to do list. Some debate if listening to music while working actually helps or hinders. Each of us are completely different, so for those who appreciate a good tune while being productive, take a listen to a sound of Japan few have heard. Sometimes, new sounds can take your ideas and concepts in new directions that are great to explore.

Japan has always appreciated classic culture and music was no exception as we see here. Japan’s jazz scene in the early 80’s must have been quite a time to experience live. This album shows that rhythm is universally honored an appreciated. Enjoy.
