  • Description

    From boundary-pushing koto musicians to experimental jazz virtuosi, Japanese music has long embraced all things avant-garde. This Rough Guide highlights some of today's key innovators whose individualism challenges the conformist perception of Japan.

    A unique insight into the richness and diversity of a vibrant underground scene which draws on myriad influences from free jazz and electronica to Zen budhism. Following on from the success of other Japanese albums in the Rough Guide series it includes a previously unreleased live recording by the famed psychedelic collaboration Japanorama.

    Compiled by the renowned radio presenter, journalist, and Japanese music expert Paul Fisher.
