Japanese Vocal Jazz

Japanese Vocal Jazz is a genre of music that combines traditional Japanese music with jazz and blues. It is characterized by a combination of traditional Japanese instruments such as the shamisen, koto, and shakuhachi, with jazz instruments such as the piano, saxophone, and drums. The vocals are often in a traditional Japanese style, but with a jazz influence. The genre has been popular in Japan since the 1950s and has been gaining popularity in the West in recent years.
