福居良、坂元輝、中山英二…。自身の耳のみを判断基準に良盤を求める海外リスナーが注目する“和ジャズ"。彼らのコレクション・ターゲットには、日本国内では“知る人ぞ知る"存在という作品も多数です。本場のジャズとは何かが違う、海外で評価の高いトラックを集めた和ジャズ・コレクション。日本人のフィルターを通した美しい日本のジャズを体験してください。 札幌を拠点に生涯ジャズピアニストとして活躍した福居良。日本国内で決して知名度の高くない彼が1976年に録音した「アーリー・サマー」は動画サイトで900万再生を超え、“和ジャズ"の代表格として海外から賞賛を受けています。日本の「シティポップ」が海外で評価されているように、今や和ジャズも誇るべき日本のレガシーです。しかも海外ファンが熱愛する和ジャズの多くは、その評価と比較して、国内でのセールス、知名度は、そこまで高くないものが多いという事実があります。世界の音楽ファンを“音の力"のみで魅了する“和ジャズ"の人気曲をコレクションした本作。“外国から見た日本の魅力"を体感してみてはいかがでしょうか。
