An interesting album of Japanese sax player Naruyoshi Kikuchi "Revolution Will Not Be Computerized", originally released in 2007, will be re-issued by Sony/Tuff Beats in April. One among more interesting of Japanese creative jazz album for some years. Not really a "dub sextet", as stated on cover though

Sony Japan releases the compilation, dedicated to legendary Japanese label Three Blind Mice. It doesn't cover rich label's legacy so far, but gives some ideas how label's music sounded

Chick Corea's rare album from early 70s "Sundance" will bere-issued in Japan in the beginning of 2024.
All-star lineup (Woody Shaw on trumpet, Hubert Laws on flute, Bennie Maupin on tenor sax, Dave Holland on bass, Horace Arnold and Jack DeJohnette on drums besides of Corea's piano) and interesting avant-garde jazz scented music. 

listen to whole original album here:

Japanese avant-garde legend sax player Akira Sakata sounds unusually sentimental in his new project Cocoda (collaboration with his son drummer Manabu Sakata among others)

Japanese pianist Masako Ohta (resides in Germany) duets with German trumpeter Matthias Lindermayr, just released, are dreamy and romantic. Something for fans of ECM music, far not so refined, but more lively though.

Japanese label Venus, renown by their series of acoustic semi-audiophile albums with soft-erotique cover art (usually hard bop ballads, so-called "late night jazz"), after all these years is still active releasing new Eric Alexaner album.

Japanese acoustic trio with wordless vocals on few tracks - Morphine Desert. Sounds quite like ... Japanese jazz. Released today.

Hi,

So nice, and so crazy at the same time. I bet she would do great in Las Vegas!
