Casiopea’s ‘Mint Jams’ PLUS! Music We Love From Butcher Brown, Geese, And More!
Manage episode 383237869 series 2701534
Back in the late 70s and early 80s, jazz fusion was the misunderstood trailblazer of America's music scene. Amidst the skepticism, one place lit up with the future of this genre: Japan. Casiopea, an iconic jazz band that still dominates in Japan, truly encapsulated this futuristic essence on their groundbreaking 1982 album, Mint Jams. This live-recorded but studio-polished gem wasn't just a pinnacle for the Issei Noro-led group; it stood as a beacon for those exploring how different cultures interpret and often outshine the West.
PLUS! We’re spinning some jazz/funk from Richmond, Virginia's Butcher Brown, checking in on the ever-shifting sounds of Brooklyn post-punks Geese, trying to make sense of the Bandcamp layoffs, Spotify’s plan to upend how artists on the platform get paid, the response to the new Rolling Stones record and more.
