SPECIAL GUEST: Oonga
Montreal musician, beat maker and producer Oonga was born in "la rumba". His second name is "Pachangón" and what define his the most is a kitchen party with homies. Today, he holds a very prolific career with a stamp in both local and international underground scene, straight out from his kitchen where he is always cooking with friends...
This is one of those individuals whose mere presence makes any and all molecules in her immediate vicinity, I suspect everywhere she goes, begin to vibrate with excitement, whose high-voltage smile on the street demands a double-take, whose coolness, if you’re lucky enough to be acquainted, makes YOU feel cool, who not only has aura, but who IS aura – the incredibly talented and supremely hep Jazz vocalist from Sapporo/Sydney/NewYork/Tokyo, Miho Jonishi. Beyond this firecrackin’ bang of character and charisma I mention, she is also a most soulful vocalist, with a deeply nuanced and signature voice that I highly recommend you check out, particularly her most recent record, September in the Rain (available for purchase and on all the streaming platforms from her bio.)
Miho was a surprise show at Tokyo Record Day and I was so glad to see her and dig aide her in the crates at Tower Records. As a student of some very influential musicians, she will likely out-jazz you if you attempt to go head-to-head as I did. But don’t worry, she is as tender as she is steeped in the entire breadth of Jazz, all of which comes through her singing. She gave me a small heap of recommendations, mentioning interestingly, that they were all still living, recording, and performing, making me realize so much of the limited Jazz that I know is only dead legends …who Miho ALSO loves and respects and whose albums she studies like textbooks. But Miho is primarily, definitively focussed on contemporary artists who she still has chances to see perform. Interesting. By the way, Miho, I’ve lost your recommendations somewhere on my phone. If you recall a few that you mentioned (or even more you didn’t), please leave us all some essential contemporary Jazz artists rec’s in the comments, those who are inspiring you lately (and any upcoming performances, too!)
Thanks, Miho! So cool you came! Enjoy the records and hope to see you next time. More Tokyo Record Style to come!

✨1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die Series ✨ Album: Machito Artist: Kenya Genre: #AfroJazz #CubanJazz #Jazz #LatinJazz ℹ️About The Album : Frank Raul Grillo, also known as Machito, was the leader of The Afro-Cubans, a fiery definitive Latin-jazz big band, released this masterpiece in 1957. 💭Thoughts : I am frankly shocked to find no Wikipedia page for this album and whatever I did find were less than savoury reviews. Blimey! This is an excellent album, Damnit ! There haven’t been many instrumental albums that have me grinning and exclaiming in revelatory euphoria. The album is just amazing. Highly recommended, just put it on while you’re cooking or cleaning. (Yes, I’m looking at you 🐒 , play it already!) 🍸Goes Best With : Let’s make ourselves a Latin cocktail to drink to the heritage of this album. We’re going to make ourselves a Pisco Sour; Add 70ml Pisco, 25ml Lemon Juice, 20ml Simple Syrup and 1 egg white to a cocktail shaker, shake till a foam appears and then pour it into an old fashioned glass, garnish it with a slice of lemon. Enjoy ! Favourite Tracks: 🔥Congo Mulence, 🔥Kenya, 🔥 Canonology, 🔥Blues La Machito, 🔥Conversation, 🔥Minor Rama.

Sunday Jazz Continues, check us out as we jump into this sound a little earlier than usual.
The saga / struggle continues as life goes on as the toil and strife goes on; Sunday? a day of rest but we’ve got work to do!
We’re trying to work through these issues, trying to stay ahead in the game!
Spotted the work others due, at the end of the day my people will catch the blame!
We know it’s all…
New Wave! is an album by Dizzy Gillespie consisting of live and studio performances recorded in 1962 and released on the Philips label in 1963.
In his DownBeat magazine review of March 14, 1963, jazz critic Don DeMichael wrote that “Dizzy plays marvelously on this record… There’s a spirit evident that is all too often missing from today’s record sessions – a spirit of vivacious humor and playing-for-the-hell-of-it.”
The AllMusic review states: “this was one of Dizzy Gillespie’s finest sessions of the 1960s… Highly recommended.”
