by Shoichi Yui
Price: ¥3241

A series remembering the renowned style of jazz critic Shoichi Yui from his broadcasts. The famous program "Aspect in Jazz," which thrilled jazz fans in the 1970s, is revived, returning with the nostalgic theme song of Gerry Mulligan.

It has been 15 years since the passing of Shoichi Yui, a leading figure in Japanese jazz criticism. Even after all this time, Shoichi Yui's presence is not forgotten. His main work, "The Historical Story of Jazz," has been reprinted to gain new readers, and there has been renewed attention with the reprinting of "Jazz Showa History" and the rebroadcast of his popular radio program "Aspect in Jazz" (on Music Bird) featuring Shoichi Yui as the DJ. This book features record reviews published in Swing Journal magazine and other publications from the 1960s to the 1990s, considered the golden age of jazz, along with selected important articles from "Living Jazz History" and other works. The included CD features edited broadcast audio and music from the time, corresponding to the book's content.
