Jazzen

Is it jazz? Is it Zen? Just what is this latest musical brainchild of Neptune's and what does the title mean? I mean, is it a blend of Zen and jazz, or what? And if it is, what does it mean? With Hitoshi Hamada on vibraphone, Yukihiro Takao on acoustic bass and Takao Naoi and Yoshinori Nomi playing guitar and percussion respectively, Neptune has again created music that defies any label other than "superlative." So, to taste a little of what jazz is, what Zen is, what this album is all about, I commend to you Neptune's own advice-- "Have a listen." ---- Malcolm B. Davis
