smooth japanese jazz for late nights · a tiny listening bar in Shimokitazawa after midnight

The show next door has just let out. Someone takes the last seat at a tiny listening bar, and the owner puts on a record nobody asked for. After midnight at a tiny listening bar in Shimokitazawa — amber lamps, shelves of vinyl, a record turning slowly on the counter and a glass catching the candlelight. Smooth Japanese jazz that breathes: warm Rhodes and tenor saxophone, an intimate piano trio, and slow flugelhorn ballads for late nights, reading, working or winding down. 🐾 Koban the Cat stopped by after the last tram, as usual, and took the seat by the turntable. 🎧 Tracklist 0:00 Amber Lamps on Ichibangai 3:17 The Listening Bar Opens 6:57 Shelves of Vinyl 10:29 Needle Drop at Midnight 13:53 Six Seats at the Counter 17:17 Candle in a Whisky Glass 20:56 Side B, Track Three 25:18 After the Last Show at the Small Theater 29:03 Shimokita Back Alley 32:56 Rhodes Behind the Curtain 36:46 Slow Pour 40:31 Records Nobody Asked For 44:32 The Owner's Favorite 48:33 Rain on the Awning 52:01 Koban Takes the Turntable Seat 55:27 Between Two Songs 58:54 Brushes on a Quiet Night 1:02:08 Crate Diggers' Hour 1:05:28 Warm Static 1:08:51 One More Record 1:12:31 Streetlight on Chazawa-dori 1:16:03 The Tenor in the Corner 1:19:37 Inner Sleeve Notes 1:23:25 Late Train to Shibuya 1:27:14 Dust on the Platter 1:30:53 Low Lamps, Low Voices 1:34:27 Flugelhorn After One 1:38:21 The Room Gets Quieter 1:42:01 Last Request 1:46:00 Velvet Hour 1:49:28 Ice Melting Slowly 1:53:31 The Record Keeps Spinning 1:57:06 Lights Down on the Shelves 2:01:03 Closing Time, No Hurry 2:04:43 Goodnight, Shimokitazawa 🎶 The record is still spinning.
