the legendary label released a string of albums of high quality but down-to-earth music, spanning from modern jazz, avant-garde jazz to left-field pop. albums such as âfarewell my johnny / left aloneâ and âayaâs sambaâ has reached cult status among fans as some of the best works to come out of the japanese jazz scene.
another japanese jazz classic, ayaâs samba was a debut effort by bassist eiji nakayama, who played as part of elvin jonesâ jazz machine and toured with don friedman.
this album is an important release in the johnnyâs disk catalogue, not only because it is the first ever release, but also because the owner hearing the band play was the reason why the label came to be.
âayaâs sambaâ is a mellow jazz samba in minor key thatâs considered a japanese jazz classic. slow ballad âyellow livingâ is drenched in melancholy with emotive keys and sax notes, while the dreamy âsea sea townâ impresses with a captivating, expressive sax solo. the 4 tracker ends with âfar-away road,â an uptempo tune with rhythmic keys.
