Description
MAKI ASAKAWA 's/t' Double LP (UK, Honest Jons Records, Catalogue #HJRLP111 ) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited year 2015 Honest Jons Records label Double LP edition/collection of 1970's era recordings by legendary Japanese chanteuse Maki Asakawa.
(NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION!)
A stunning survey of the 1970s heyday of great Japanese singer and countercultural icon Maki Asakawa (1942-2010). Deep-indigo, dead-of-night enka, folk, and blues, inhaling Billie Holiday and Nina Simone down to the bone. A traditional waltz abuts Nico-style incantation; defamiliarized versions of Oscar Brown Jr. and Bessie Smith collide with big-band experiments alongside poet Sh?ji Terayama; a sitar-led psychedelic wig-out runs into a killer excursion in modal, spiritual jazz. Existentialism and noir, mystery and allure, hurt and hauteur. With excellent notes by Alan Cummings and the fabulous photographs of Hitoshi Jin Tamura. "Japan's answer to Scott Walker, with a visual aesthetic and a death-decadent appeal that is straight out of the Keiji Haino songbook." --Volcanic Tongue
