Japanese Jazz
Does anyone listen to Japanese jazz? Or know any japanese jazz artist? I'm so angry, I listened to this beautiful jazz sounding like jpop song that was sung by a girl and a guy and I didn't get the name of the song but it was so classy and beautiful... *sigh* I hate it when I hear a good song and can't ge tthe name. Anyway, I thought this would make an insteresting topic... hopefully o.o
 lol

I do. My favorite artists at the moment are Hiromi and Keiko Matsui. United Future Organization is pretty good too.

Amrai-chan!
Keiko Matsui is awesome! I've never known anyone else who listens to her! My other favourite Japanese Jazz is Orange Pekoe (but its usually just the girl singing), and of course The Seatbelts

Awesome!
 What's your favorite album?At the moment mine is Whisper From The Mirror. She has so many it's hard to choose absolute favorites. Orange Pekole is pretty good. I've only heard a few of thier songs. The Seatbelts are great but then I usally think that about anything Yoko Kanno is involved in. lol.

I like hiro's (from SPEED) first Cocco D'or album, which was covers of english songs.
And also, bird has some nice jazz songs; her songs cover a lot of different genres, I've heard some songs of hers that are jazz. ^^ bird got married recently, as I read in a tokyograph article. Link It's been a while since I listed to bird's albums, but I think the last one I listened to was "bird's nest".  Anyone else heard of bird before, or listened to her songs?

It reminds me of Jazz at some points. Blues too. Mostly stuff from Meiko Kaji.
Anyone here a fan of Lisa Ono (小野リサ?) She's on the Bossa Nova side...but still. I love her voice. Apparently she's singing with Ken Hirai on the song Heart of Mine from the album Ken's Bar II.
