The vast sea of J-Jazz can be hard to navigate, but this is as good a place as any to start. While American players were being swept into the splintered spirtual jazz, fusion and jazz-funk scenes in the 70s, Japanese players stayed busy perfecting and combing over the harmonic possibilities of post-bop and modal jazz.

Fuck… the… frail shit! Yup, “My Music” is the break Alchemist looped for Jadakiss & Styles P’s club anthem “We Gon Make It.” It’s the opening track on Samuel Jonathan Johnson’s sole LP from 1978, but the promo-only Columbia disco 12” is rare as shit. The song itself is perfectly fine, but listening to that…

RIP Sharon Jones. The Augusta-born, Brooklyn-based soul singer was a singular talent that will be sorely missed round these parts (and around the globe).
