Our Take

The Dave Brubeck Quartet's "Jazz Impressions of Japan" takes listeners on a whimsical journey through the Land of the Rising Sun, with Brubeck's iconic piano skills shining bright like a Tokyo skyline at dusk. From the moment the needle hits the vinyl, you can almost smell the cherry blossoms and taste the sushi. Brubeck and his quartet effortlessly blend traditional Japanese melodies with their signature cool jazz sound, creating a fusion that is as harmonious as a geisha's song. Tracks like "Tokyo Traffic" and "Koto Song" transport you to the bustling streets of the city, while "Zen is When" invites you to find inner peace amidst the chaos. But don't be fooled by the album's serene facade - there's a mischievousness lurking beneath the surface. "Osaka Blues" grooves with a cheeky swagger, while "The City is Crying" evokes a sense of melancholy that cuts deep like a samurai's blade. Overall, "Jazz Impressions of Japan" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado with a sense of adventure. It's like taking a sonic bullet train through the heart of Japan, with Brubeck as your charismatic tour guide. So sit back, sip some sake, and let the music transport you to a world where every note paints a picture more vivid than a Hokusai print. Sayonara, mundane music - Konnichiwa, Dave Brubeck Quartet!
