Really nice to see this. I worked with KJM way back in 2000. Still friends with them and it's shocking how long it's taken people outside Japan to catch onto them. All the best to you, Gamall. PS: The title track of their next EP is also a real gem - https://www.juno.co.uk/products/kyoto-jazz-sextet-dosojin-ep-vinyl/1089383-01/
I sent it to Shuya from KJM too. He was pleased to see and read it. He’s still very popular in Japan. His long running club The Room still running in Tokyo. Also has a new Kyoto Jazz Quartet release coming any minute

Thanks for that! really love the KJM vibe, so informed by music of the world without direct tie-lines to anything…
