A beautiful, melancholy melody that is loved across borders and time.Jazz Bar, Japan's best-selling jazz compilation, is back for it's 24th year.In the world of jazz, it is believed that great performances produce great songs. The famous and legendary jazz saying, 'Jazz has only great performances without great songs,' aptly expresses this. There is no doubt about this. If you listen to Miles' famous 'Autumn Leaves,' you can perfectly understand how the chanson 'Autumn Leaves' quickly became a great jazz masterpiece. However, I think there is also the opposite idea that 'great songs produce great performances,' and that it's okay to have that. I always select songs for 'Jazz Bar' with that sentiment in mind. (From Yasukuni Terashima's liner notes for 'Jazz Bar 2023')This is a timeless best compilation that has been released every year since 2001 and has contributed to the discovery of new masterpieces that could be considered the next generation standard and new generation musicians! Enjoy tonight the beautiful songs and melodies that Yasukuni Terashima discovered over the course of a year.Songlist1. Nightfall / Diego Imbert, Enrico Pieranunzi, Andre Ceccarelli2.
