Dai Tokyo Jazz Jazz in The GREAT TOKYO - Great Tokyo's Jazz song collection 1925-1940

[Machine Translation] This is the third installment of the prewar Japanese urban jazz series presented by GURAMOKURABU, the same group that produced "Dai Nagoya Jazz" and "Dai Osaka Jazz". The third installment in the prewar Japanese urban jazz series, this time featuring the culture and bustle of the imperial city of Tokyo, Tokyo, as it was in the days before the war. Popular jazz bands roaming the streets of Tokyo, dazzling city songs, and jazz opera. A madam of a bar in the back of Ginza talks about the taste of men, and a cafe waitress sings a lonesome chorus service. A popular dance teacher teaches steps with blues as background music, and bands and famous singers gather at the "Florida Dance Hall" to swing and dance with cultural flair. Tap dancing and the "St. Louis Blues" performed at the Grand Show were a panorama of the prewar stage. The book is full of rare sound sources, including Japanese recordings by Midge Williams, Japanese chanson sung by Madeleine Fujita, wife of Tsuguharu Fujita, Kioko Tange's debut recording, and early recordings by Bucky Shirakata, who became the darling of postwar Hawaiian music. Come to the prewar era with this realistic guide to Tokyo. Planning and production: Toru Yasutoshi / Supervision and commentary: Masato Mori
