The album For Your Ears Only is a collaborative jazz and standard cover project by Duologue—a duo featuring guitarist Akira Wada (of the fusion band PRISM) and bassist Ken Watanabe. Originally released in 1997, it received a remastered reissue featuring a double cardboard-sleeve jacket.

A gathering of 4th generation musicians active in jazz fusion! The long-awaited first album has finally been released! This band is made up of fourth-generation musicians including Hiroyuki Noritake, a leading figure in Japanese jazz fusion, and bassist Mitsuru Sudo. The keyword for the entire album is "Rich & Reality"! The album's sound is based on a strong commitment to reproducing the rich resonance of acoustic instruments, the breath of wind instruments, and the vibrations experienced when a drummer steps on a hi-hat. The band's musical approach, based on each member's experience, is connected to the band's sound, resulting in a sound that maximizes the "worldview of music." In a sense, this band is an old jazz quintet without a guitar, with trumpets and saxophone as the main instruments, but they have integrated the essence of modern jazz, funk, and crossover music to create a sound that is still understandable today.
Yes, Cristiano Parato released an album titled Instrumental Project '70.
The album was released in 2009 (sometimes dated 2008 or 2010 depending on the digital platform). The number "'70" in the title is a nod to his birth year (1970)
Jazz legend John Scofield returned to his Ohio roots Friday night as three-time Grammy Award winner brought his Electrospective tour to The Kent Stage!
The legendary guitarist (and Dayton born), whose remarkable career includes performing and recording with Miles Davis, was joined by an all-star lineup featuring Oteil Burbridge, Larry Goldings, and Adam Deitch for an evening of jazz, funk, and electrifying improvisation.
With more than five decades of musical innovation behind him, Scofield continues to prove why he’s one of the most influential guitarists of his generation.

This DVD contains only six songs, played live in the studio. It is filmed very close to the players, so for the people who want to see, how they have to play their favourite Fragile songs, this is a real must have.
Kozo Suganuma is playing his drums and you can follow him through the songs, he makes it look so easy, how to play his parts. He is one of the best fusion drummers I have ever seen.
Kiochi Yabori is a very technical guitarist, he reminds me of Jeff beck sometimes.
Masatochi Mizuno is like a Japanese version of Gary Willis.

(HI RES) Ozric Tentacles – Harmonic Mind [SEPT.18,2026]
Japanese jazz-fusion band Casiopea will release their second studio album with their current lineup, Sunshine & Moonlight, on December 2, 2026, via Hats Unlimited. Released after sold-out shows in Los Angeles, the Blu-spec CD2 features 10 new tracksAlbum Overview
From a review: By Joe Klopus The Kansas City Star Trumpeter Shunzo Ohno is a seemingly shy and modest guy, and the kind of player who wins you over subtlety and songfulness, not with cascades of notes. But behind his playing, ...is a burning ambition. At age 63, Ohno is defying the odds with every solo. It's fair to describe the urgent way he's playing now as a real triumph. ...He's given some memorable performances in our area in recent days... Ohno has proved that his best right now is formidable - good enough to make him an active participant in the New York and on the world scenes once again. (He just got back from his native Japan, and he's flying back for another Asian tour as soon as he's done in KC.) "In 1973, Art Blakey came to Japan," Ohno says. "His trumpeter Woody Shaw couldn't come, and they needed one trumpeter. So I did the job. After that job, Art said, 'Come to New York.'" Ohno took the advice, and recites the date of his arrival, March 22, 1974. He gigged some more with Blakey. He worked with Roy Haynes, another veteran drummer with the reputation for nurturing talent. And he tasted real success with another drummer, Norman Connors, when a song that Ohno wrote and played a strong solo on, "Bubbles," became a hit record for them. There were also stints with the Latin bandleader Machito and the Gil Evans orchestra. He toured with giants Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. Ohno was on his way. There were Miles David-like lyrical lines, and outbursts of real musical energy, delivered with that coolest-dude-in-the-room swagger that Lee Morgan had in his playing. And there were great charts, because Ohno is composing and arranging on a high level, too. This modest man has inspired a biography and a documentary film in Japan. But more importantly, he really embodies the power of music to change life again and again. All things considered, chances are good that this survivor has so much swagger in his playing because he really is the coolest dude in the room. .... If you are looking for COOL, INTIMATE MELODIES, FIERCE BOLD ENERGY, INSPIRING SPIRIT, it is bundled into 'ALL in One'. Crosses all cultures and speaks directly to the heart and soul.

The brand new album "Pacific Voyage" by Nautilus from Tokyo is a breezy summertime soundtrack which combines sunny Yacht Rock with a touch of cool 80s City Pop.
The Japanese Jazzfusion trio reinterpretates stone cold classics from this era in their typical signature way of playing.
Songs like the heavy sampled "What You Won't Do For Love" by Bobby Caldwell and Toto's "Georgy Porgy" get a completely new coat of paint and fresh interpretation translated into now and tomorrow.
Followed by a who's who of tracks from Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald, Shuggie Otis, Nohelani Cypriano and Toshiki Kadomatsu to name a few.

After their first European tour in May 2023, Tokyo-based Jazz trio Nautilus has received an amazing response from concert visitors and the professional audience!
So we decided to press their last gig of the tour at the legendary King Georg in Cologne, Germany on limited mixed media. This is for all concert goers to soak up the vibes again and for all those who couldn't make it to the concert to see them playing live! And believe us, this is a real experience, please enjoy this cross-section of songs - from old to new - and: it is recorded as a multitrack recording session for your listening pleasure.
Nautilus is a Japanese Jazz trio centered around drummer Toshiyuki Sasaki. Together with bass player Shigeki Umezawa and Mariko Nakabayashi on the keys they are known for their distinctive style, which can be summarized as the modern rare groove, embodies a mixture of jazz, funk, disco music, soul, and even hip hop.
THANKS TO AFOTS FOR SHARING THESE, MORE TO COME...
In 2020, Daisuke Takeuchi left the band and Mariko joined as a new member.
