So, Japan was amazingly good. The people, the cities, the trains, the record shops, the food, and the parties were all amazing. I had the pleasure of playing at the old Yellow club, now entitled eleven, wow what a sound, then moved onto Hiroshima and played an ace little party in a tiny but perfectly formed venue, my hosts were impeccable and the crowd wild. Next was Shizouka, again small club but great atmosphere as always welcomed with open arms, thanks people, then lastly Osaka, WOW, now this is a city, the future today! Started off the day meeting up with Prins Thomas and headed off with Hagi for some Record shopping, got some great jazz recommendations from Hagi and PT and spent a fortune. Warmed up for PT at Magnet club in the evening, another special night to round off a special weekend, Thanks JAPAN!
