This is why I fell in love with jazz, and keep coming back. I first saw Dave when he was playing a Christmas concert of new music in 1983, and he just keeps playing beautiful jazz. Thank you Dave.

I so agree with you …
I so agree with you guys! It is my favorite album. Fujiyama is my favorite followed by the City is Crying. Koto’s Song ain’t bad either and so is Tokyo Traffic, one can feel the hustle and bustle of the city in that one.
I wonder why this album wasn’t as popular as the others and was wondering if at the time it was produced, Americans still held a grudge against the Japanese because of Pearl harbor…

It almost sounds like Dave isn’t following the 12-bar blues form, but he is. I think it’s a brilliant solo!

This sounds like a 4/4 version of “Blue Shadows in the Street” which is in 9/8. I really like this eventhough this my 1st time hearing this particular song.

Wonderful! And …
Wonderful! And Desmond was Mesmonderizing, as usual.
Still, correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Dave hurl all Western Civilization into the abyss at 5:57?

Agreed. It has some of Desmond’s best playing, some of Brubeck’s best compositions.

What an awesome find. Thanks for posting this. You don’t by any chance have a video of him playing “The City Is Crying”.. my fav song from the Japan album.

Jazz Impressions of Japan is a hugely under-rated jazz album.

WoW! Dave, Joe, …
WoW! Dave, Joe, Eugene, and Paul are my fave jazz muscicians of all time. Used to come home from high school and crank up the volume on the stereo and play my drums along with Joe ’til my parents came home (the late 60’s). Wonderful memories, though I never heard “Koto Song” (I LOVE it) until about two years ago. Haunting, beautiful melody. Thanks, Astrotype, for posting this rare gem, and thanks, Moonlightnoir, for directing my attention to this. Great to see a music vid from ‘66!

Such a soft gentle tone. Like Getz but even sweeter smoother.
Beautiful!!

If I am not …
If I am not mistaken the Brubeck solo is based on the typical or ancient oriental 6 tone scale.
