Call Me
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Ayako Hosokawa is a Japanese jazz vocalist who collaborated with Toshiyuki Miyama, a respected jazz composer and saxophonist. Their 1979 recording Call Me, released on the prestigious Three Blind Mice label, captures a vibrant contemporary jazz fusion session. Hosokawa's voice is sophisticated and controlled, delivering both English-language standards and original compositions with Japanese sensibility. Miyama's band features tight ensemble work with funky undertones—think of it as jazz that meets soul and funk traditions with Japanese refinement. The rhythm section is particularly strong, propelling the music with subtle groove and precision. This is Japanese jazz at its finest: informed by American traditions but filtered through a unique cultural lens that creates something genuinely distinct. A rare glimpse into Japan's thriving 1970s jazz scene.
