Beyond Borders, Genres, and Eras

This episode featured a selection of remarkable tracks that transcend borders, genres, and eras. We began with moody waltz tracks unearthed from the Middle East, specifically Israel and Iran, followed by dance jazz with distinctive "Mondo" arrangements from the UK and Italy. We also introduced new works from domestic artists such as Shuichi "Ponta" Murakami, Hidefumi Ino, and indigo jam unit.

With only a short time left in the year, let's refresh ourselves with music and power through these busy days.
