With Paul Desmond and Chet Baker manning the horns, this version has everything going for it

Awesome Jayant! I had discovered Japanese Jazz a few years ago and I was amazed. Thanks for the recommendations some of which are already on this thread but your post is a great refresher/start for anyone looking to explore Japanese Jazz.
The Hiroshi Fukumura album is one of my favourites!
One of my outright favourites is (almost anything from) Tsuyoshi Yamamoto.
You can almost buy anything from these guys blind!

I forgot to thank you for this. I did not find the album on any of the streaming services but I ended up discovering a treasure trove of music that kept me engrossed for hours. Sublime stuff!

Almost makes the TBM label name prophetic
Totally agree about Tsuyoshi Yamamoto. I buy blind if I even see him on the rhythm section of an album
Most welcome, @Nikhil
Now, get ready for a twist in the tale - Concierto de Aranjuez meets avant-garde Japanese jazz!
The horns aren’t in oxyacetylene mode (a la Coltrane or Sanders), but it’s pretty potent stuff nevertheless. A totally unique take on the Concierto.
A great list with excellent background detail for each album.
One minor correction: Giant Steps references four people in Trane’s orbit, the fourth being his cousin Mary. Syeeda was his adopted daughter.

Friends, get this. It's a very good press with fantastic music from the quintet - Miles, Coltrane, Garland, Paul Chambers and Philly Lee Jones

I can second that - picked this up the first time it came out, I guess 2 years ago? Excellent set

I remember reading your post when you got it..looking forward to receiving mine.
My favourite bits are on Relaxin’.
At the beginning of the album, you can hear Miles’ raspy whisper, “I’ll play it first and tell you what it is later.”
At the end of the album, you can hear Coltrane asking, “Where’s the beer opener?”
Priceless!

That whispered comment - the sidemen were expected to know the song from the first few notes. They were rarely told the song name!My favourite bits are on Relaxin’.

Yes, definitely Food for Thought!
Jazz, though, is so broad in it's range, each genre emphasizing a particular spectral signature. If one is attentive to improvisation, isn't that an aspect of Melody? And Blues, for example, have a fairly simple Harmonic signature (3 or 4 chords at most) but the blue notes used in the Melody and the syncopation (Rhythmic characteristic?) appear dominant.
Interesting indeed! Thanks for posting
For excellent sound that won't break the bank, the 5 Star Award Winning Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 Bookshelf Speakers is the one to consider!
