We’re turning Japanese here on the show! Come join us for a deep dive into the wonderful world of J-Jazz. At long last, DJ BenZen and DJ Greg reunite to jam some truly epic tunes, and also tell the story of Japanese jazz. They discuss the history of how jazz came, grew, and developed over time, and they also delve deep into the nuance of the music to show what makes Japanese jazz unique and authentic. We’ve been waiting to drop this one for a while, so join in for a trip overseas and nerd out. But, as usual, also prepare to rage!
