In addition to everything else mentioned, Marshmellow's master is also an accomplished photographer, more so mountains and nature. He has been up way before the crack of dawn more times than I care to think in order to capture some amazing scenes on film. Despite all the ciggies, his lungs have taken him to places many would fear. I doubt he's going die wondering! Lovely man (and grandaughter who made/served my coffee).

Episode 1: Our first tentative foray into joint (pun intended) podcasting to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Tokyo Jazz Joints project, which began on March 27th 2015.

Follow the link to hear us chat a little bit about how the project started, some of the highlights so far, and stories behind the photos￼. Check out YouTube too if you want a slideshow with some images from the project, and of the joints we discuss - should you get bored just listening to￼ us. Win-win!

Feel free to reach out to us through the website on www.tokyojazzjoints.com or on social media (@tokyojazzjoints) and let us know if you’re interested in hearing more￼. There’s lots more to tell.  

Get over to www.tokyojazzjoints.com to see the pictures in better definition.

Apologies in advance for any little glitches, and for the number of ‘like’ ‘you know’ ‘kind of’ and ‘sort of’s!￼

Five Long Years!

Episode 11: We are back with a full episode this week, but we haven’t travelled too far as we continue to criss-cross a port city steeped in the history of cultural exchange and Occupation, exploring some of the deepest of Yokohama’s ￼amazing selection of jazz joints. 

Find out also how you can donate to social justice causes with our T-shirt giveaway, or by getting your hands on an original photographic print from the Tokyo Jazz Joints archive. 

￼Thanks as always to Brian of groovesahead.com for audio assistance, and Louie Lastic for our theme music.
