Come and touch the feel of the heat going throu' my mind
Come and touch and don't be scared
If it's bleeding

Carry your heart to where you sense the cry comes from
Carry your heart till the end

Casshern Sins O.S.T -  14 Peaceful

In Fall 2013, I initiated a project that I hoped to be the start of a new perspective on not just modern Japanese music and its fusion with jazz elements, but on music in general. The realization of this project is called the "J-MUSIC Ensemble", where at the Manhattan School of Music, we take a look at the world of Japanese music from roughly the late 1980s to now, and approach it from the perspective of the world we all generally come from--jazz. With this, we study the interesting relationship Japan has had with America since the 1930s, and see how both countries have influenced each other in ways that most people aren't aware of. The most important aspect of this mission, of course, is to continue bringing live music to those who need it--which is everyone!

This collection contains select tracks from our final live performance of the 2013-2014 school year, and they range from video game soundtracks to songs from various Japanese Rock and Electronic bands/musicians.

The Lineup:

Patrick Bartley - Soprano and Alto Saxophone, Akai EWI
Sam Torres - Tenor Saxophone
Jon Hatamiya - Trombone
St. Clair Simmons III - Trombone, Lead Vocals
Kyle Athayde - Vibraphone
Tom Wilson - Piano and Keyboard/Synthesizer
Max Calkin - Electric Bass
Joe Peri - Drums

As the next year comes, I hope to continue this project and get studio recordings, as well as perform at venues and Anime/VG Conventions that would love to have live J-Music performed!
