Need more information. I'm ready for a new genre of music to jam to.

Try Casiopea, the Mint Jams album. Saw it in a green text. It's what made me fall in love with the genre.

Checked it out, it's pretty good but also reminds me of regular jazz, just with a bit more virtuoso mixed in as opposed to free play, so it's less laidback. Interesting concept

The only reason I listen to Casipea is because of that greentext too lmao

Thanks checking it out now. First association: Feels like I am in the lobby of a cool game 😁

I've been a listener of all types of jazz for about 15 years. In my experience, Japanese jazz is akin to having one of those YouTube 'chillhop lofi Jazz' live streams up. It isn't super technical and gets a bit repetitive to me, but it's nice to have on every now and then while I'm trying to multitask.

I misread "multitask" as "masturbate".

It's interchangeable

as OP said, Casiopea's Mint Jams is a bomb, I also suggest these albums I really enjoyed:

There's a lot of great Japanese jazz from the 70s and early 80s. Check out Kazumi Watanabe, from his early guitar-oriented days to the more full instrumentation of his compositions in the 80s and 90s. A favorite of mine is To-Chi-Ka, which also features Marcus Miller on bass. There are also a lot of great albums with female vocalists such as this one by Noriko Miyamoto and Isao Suzuki.
