{"product_id":"akira-miyazawa-yamame-山女魚","title":"Akira Miyazawa – Yamame 山女魚","description":"\u003cp\u003eJazz saxophonist Akira Miyazawa was known for his unparalleled love of fishing, and here he gives a masterful performance that conjures the image of silvery fish scales reflecting light through the cold and clear water of a small mountain stream. “Yamame” (the Japanese name for a kind of freshwater salmon) was recorded in 1962 and was Miyazawa’s first album, but the sharpness and avant-garde modernity of the music creates a completely timeless quality. Miyazawa is one of a group of musicians who laid the foundation of the Japanese jazz scene. He wanted to express his cultural heritage by doing something he felt “only someone Japanese” could do, and so he dedicated himself to a pursuit of “Japanese jazz”. Incidentally, the album was originally simply titled “Akira Miyazawa”, but perhaps due to the impression the cover art and the track titles made, it was reissued in 1977 as “\u003cem\u003eYamame\u003c\/em\u003e”, and has gone by that title ever since. This is an historic masterpiece of Japanese jazz. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/180g-soundfuji.bandcamp.com\/album\/yamame\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSound Fuji, Bandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiner notes written by Takao Ogawa, who has written numerous books on Japanese jazz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/1RaIUvmgoKaLUaTLVTncDx?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl Tracklist\u003cbr\u003eA1 Yamame\u003cbr\u003eA2 Memories Through Thick Glasses\u003cbr\u003eA3 Fly Casting\u003cbr\u003eA4 Like Someone In Love\u003cbr\u003eB1 Out Of Nowhere\u003cbr\u003eB2 Le Crepuscule Embaume\u003cbr\u003eB3 Like Sonny\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: King Records\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2026 \/ Originally Released: 1962\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Post Bop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Japanese Jazz\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"King Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46570503405726,"sku":"4988003386153","price":60.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/E5_AE_AE_E6_B2_A2_E6_98_AD-akira-miyazawa-_E5_B1_B1_E5_A5_B3_E9_AD_9A_600x_1b549cce-1c65-41a0-a4fc-87b4b093e48b.jpg?v=1772272064","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.com\/products\/akira-miyazawa-yamame-%e5%b1%b1%e5%a5%b3%e9%ad%9a","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
