Tohru Aizawa Quartet - Tachibana, Vol. 1 (1975)

In 1975, Japanese businessman Ikujiroh Tachibana had a group of young jazz musicians record an entire album in his home studio which he then pressed on vinyl and passed around as his business card to promote his hotels. BBE recently reissued this record.

Full Story:

How a Japanese medical student and local businessman made one of the most coveted records of all time

Used as a business card by the man who funded the recording in his basement and after whom the album is named, Tohru Aizawa Quartet's Tachibana is one of the rarest Japanese jazz records of all time.

All,

Another Fantastic find for me over the weekend was the collection of albums on the MPS record label with many of the albums in High rez on apple music.

I was excited to find one of my favs but the collection is awesome. Had this LP which was a very good original pressing.

RIP to trumpeter Jaimie Branch. One of the brightest stars in the current jazz scene gone at just 39. Do give her 'Fly or Die' series of albums a listen if you haven't already.

The Pyramids: Aomawa - The 1970s Recordings

This is the complete 1970s recordings of the iconic spiritual jazz, soul, funk group The Pyramids. Includes 3 studio albums and one live recording. Super hard to find and super expensive since they were privately pressed. Finally collected in a box with a great booklet too.

I have a spare copy of this fabulous box set too if anyone is interested

RIP Joey Defrancesco.

Went through the video and in the process discovered another gifted Jazz musician from Assam India, Ronojit Chaliha. Listen to his piece "Maati"

Maati review: Gifted jazz pianist Ron Cha’s expansive new album leaves an impression

Maati album review: Ron Cha's latest is an engaging effort and a compelling tribute to Assam.

Why not have both…
