Banji Kaicho presents:

 

GREEN light on for our second Japanese Jazz feature in April. I love the fact that green is the color of nature, yet it can be very progressive at the same time – much like the ideal characters of jazz music to me. We’ll listen to songs about forest, jade and wind, until we fight through the end. Inspired by Keiki Midorikawa’s 1976 musical statement, this is 「Grüne Revolution! 緑色革命」
