Midnight In Tokyo 2, the second installment to the compilation series that rounds up hidden gems by Japanese artists that's perfect for listening at night in Tokyo, is here. This time the collection brings together some tasty electric jazz fusion from the '80s , compiled by Dubby, the man behind the online record store Ondas. The compilation begins with Hikobae, a dark and slow cosmic jazz by saxophonist Genji Sawai, followed by Danza Lucumi, an odd Caribbean-style jam by Today's Latin Project, a band fronted by Tadaaki Misago of Tokyo Cuban Boys, with arrangements by Yasuaki Shimizu. On The Coast is a soulful and mellow vocal track arranged by Ryuichi Sakamoto, from guitarist Shigeru Suzuki's album White Heat, and fusion boogie cut In The Hot City is by Mr. Theodore, which was a one-off project by a mysterious artist. The melancholic soul jazz number So Long America is the title track from the album Yasunori Soryo released in '82, following a stint in America with the band Brown Rice. Twisty is a tropical reggae tune from the album Samba Kathy, an underrated classic by Jugando which was released on Trash, a sublabel of one of Japan's finest jazz labels, Trio. Samarkand is an electric Latin jazz jam that sounds like something Miles Davis and Santana could have played on, performed by a Latin funk band from Fussa. Imagery is a primal African fusion track by Katsutoshi Morizono, a member of the prog rock band Yoninbayashi. Windmill is the most acoustic sounding tune on this com
