■Lyrics
森「ラ」万象　旨けりゃいいのよ
天下で一等　ハピハピよ

（レディース＆ジェントル麺！）
（生まれは中国、育ちは日本）
（北の味噌から南のそばまで、いざ…すすれ～！）

朝からお腹がグーチョキパーコー
テンション好調マシマシ気分
1日3食バリカタ上等
千変万化のファンタジア
醤油に豚骨・塩・味噌・麻婆
白湯濃厚鶏出汁気分
一癖あるのもたまには最高
ニンニク入れますか？人間やめますか？

人生なんとか鳴門海峡
替え玉無料は感無量
あっさり？こってり？
欲張り大歓迎！

森「ラ」万象　旨けりゃいいのよ
天下で一等　ハピハピよ
濃いめ硬め多めのロマンス
ギルティなトキメキ

メンマにチャーシュー　ライスもいいけど
お残しなんて　ダメダメよ
至福の一杯　神のみぞ汁完の予感
いただきます！

お腹が空いたらチャルメラ満了
味変完了カラフル気分
1日煮込めば骨まで重畳
変幻自在のファンタジア

汁なしムードも知る由なし
担々・まぜそば・油そば
ニンニク　ショウガに
豆板醤でコンバージョン

森「ラ」万象　旨けりゃいいのよ
天下で一等　ハピハピよ
サイドメニューは恋の駆け引き
ミルキーなドキドキ

ジャンクに淡麗　何でもいいけど
食わず嫌いは　ダメダメよ
恐悦至極の　暖簾分けの連食
いただきます！

今日も　明日も
朝も　夜中も
心のままに駆け込め

（ごちそうさまでした～）

We're delighted to announce the reissue of this ultra-rare LP, originally issued on JSR Records back in 1980. Heavily influenced by the likes of Bobby Hutcherson and Roy Ayers, 'Taking Care Of Business' is full of positive, uptempo soul/jazz gems, featuring Ted Coleman's wonderful vibraphone playing throughout. Not only did Coleman both sing and play piano, synth and vibes on the record, but he also designed the artwork himself; a true DIY LP if ever there was one. This DIY ethos even extended to the New Jersey label JSR who originally pressed the LP, describing themselves as: "a new company that helps working club bands that can sell their own records. JSR artists spend no money for recording or production costs, and there are no recording contracts." This could well explain the album's rarity, with original copies selling on Discogs for eye-wateringly high prices.
Ted Coleman cut his teeth playing local clubs and venues in his hometown of Pittsburgh, where his skills on vibes and mallet percussion quickly earned him popularity in the local area. 'Taking Care Of Business' was his very first studio album, blending latin rhythms with smooth jazz and soul stylings. The musicianship on the record is striking, the vocals mellow and soulful, the lyrics warm and tender: put simply this album is designed to warm the heart. Still writing and recording at 'Joyful Noise', his Metuchen New Jersey studio, Ted Coleman also performs across the US with his "Good Vibes" band. We hope you find as much joy in this scarce and remarkable debut LP as we do.

In the years following World War Two, Japan developed one of the most insatiable, dynamic and diverse markets for jazz. For a crucial period of little over a decade – from the late 1960s to the early 1980s – Japanese jazz culture progressed at an astonishing rate, producing an extraordinary array of artists, recordings and record labels that created some of the most forward thinking and impressive jazz to be committed to tape. This amazing journey is explored on ‘J Jazz’.
This compilation from BBE uncovers some of the most sought after and rare material from this period and pulls together key artists who shaped the post-war modern jazz scene in Japan.

‘J Jazz’ includes obscure and sought after rarities like the bass-driven power jazz of Koichi Matsukaze’s ‘Earth Mother’, the holy grail rarity of Aizawa Tohru Quartet’s ‘Dead Letter’ and the loping majesty of Takeo Moriyama’s ‘North Wind’. This collection takes the listener into deep spiritual jazz, post-modal impressionism and fierce dance-floor fusion with material from artists and composers whose names are generally only known to committed collectors of Japanese jazz. Fumio Karashima, Mitsuaki Katayama, Takeo Moriyama and Kiyoshi Sugimoto are among the names featured on an album aiming to shed a little light on the shadowy world of Japanese jazz clubs, tucked away in the neon backstreets. This music demands a wider audience and BBE are excited to deliver a landmark compilation, lifting the veil on this wonderful and mysterious area of the global jazz catalogue.

None of the tracks featured on ‘J Jazz’ have ever received an official release outside Japan before. The albums the tracks are taken from are extremely hard to find and often fetch huge sums on the collector’s circuit. Originally pressed in small numbers on independent and private labels such as Union, Johnny’s Disk, Whynot, ALM and VAP, these tracks are now available for everyone to enjoy.

Compiled by Tony Higgins and Mike Peden, both long-time collectors of Japanese jazz, ’J Jazz’ brings together the very best in modern jazz from Japan, recorded during a critical period of musical and cultural transition that saw composers and musicians not only assert a new artistic identity but also create a lasting musical legacy.
