After 52 years, BODY&SOUL plays its last note on Saturday.
THE FINAL GROOVE — TOKU with the Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Group
Live from BODY&SOUL, Tokyo, Saturday 26 September
TOKU is one of the musicians owner Kyoko Seki helped launch from this stage. Tsuyoshi Yamamoto, who recorded a live album in this room in 1995, is at the piano — a player the club calls second to none when it comes to swinging. With Shinobu Ishizaki (alto sax), Hiroshi Kagawa (bass) and Toshio Osumi (drums).
The room is sold out. Watch it live, exclusively for channel members — who also get our 24/7 linear channel, the finest jazz from around the world.

Saturday 12 September, live from BODY&SOUL, for members only.
Voices of Hope 15. For fifteen editions, bassist Kengo Nakamura has gathered singers at this club for one night and given the takings away. Proceeds go to the Iwate Learning Hope Fund and the Miyagi Children's Scholarship Fund, paying for the education of children from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. His aim is to keep going until every child born in the disaster area has come of age.
Ten Japanese vocalists, with Dennis Lambert @DennisLambertPianist on piano, Gene Jackson on drums, Nakamura and Yosuke Inoue on bass. A tribute to Kyoko Mama's love of vocal jazz, eighteen days before BODY&SOUL closes for good on 30 September. Oh! Jazz is donating its proceeds too.

Track 9 of 9. The record opened with a drummer's tune, and it closes with one.
"Funky Chu" — Uniquely 5, live at BODY&SOUL Tokyo, written by the band's drummer Yoshihito Eto. Not a standing group but a collective of five of Tokyo's most in-demand players, two saxophones out front: Kazuhiko Kondo alto, Wataru Hamazaki tenor and soprano, Yutaka Shiina piano, Yosuke Inoue bass, Eto drums.
That is the whole album: nine separate bands, one small room, fifty years of it. Live from BODY&SOUL - The Golden Jubilee is a limited 180g double LP and a tribute to Kyoko Seki. The gates close this year, and this is what stays.
Every copy includes the full live shows plus 3 months free on Oh! Jazz. First 50 get a Vaamonde art print.

Track 8 of 9. Her debut album was called Thaw. This piece is 春の雪解け — spring thaw.
Akane Ezawa Quartet @akaneezawa4053, live at BODY&SOUL Tokyo. Ezawa broke through internationally at the 2019 Perth International Jazz Festival, and she writes with a rich, thick-toned patience. She brought a band to match: David Bryant on piano, Takumi Awaya on bass, and Gene Jackson @jackgene on drums, who held the chair in the Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter Quartet from 1991 to 2000.
Jackson and Awaya each appear on two of the nine tracks. Nine bands, one small room, the same players turning up in it.

Saturday 5 September, 19:30 Mexico City time — live from Parker & Lenox, for members only.
DANTOR @dantormx, led by guitarist and composer Daniel Torres. Mexican traditions meeting contemporary jazz and global rhythms, built around the interplay of guitar and violin. Torres also runs the music therapy programme at UNAM, and it shows in how this band plays: patient, warm, built to be listened to.
With Israel Torres on violin, Daniel Vadillo on piano and synth, Hiram Griss on drums, and Aarón Cruz on bass — one of Mexico's most recorded bassists, with Lila Downs, Ximena Sariñana and Ely Guerra among his credits.
Live for members only, and it is not coming back. Members also get our 24/7 linear channel: youtube.com/@ohjazztv/join

Track 7 of 9. He has been making records in this room since 2003.
"Don't Be Silly" — Shigeo Fukuda Trio @jazzpianist3863, live at BODY&SOUL Tokyo. Fukuda released Live@Body&Soul in 2003 and Dissonance/Body&Soul in 2008, both made on this stage. Now his own tune opens Side D of the album that documents the club's last chapter. A crystalline touch and a composer's gift for melody, with Motoi Kanamori on bass and Shingo Okudaira on drums.

Track 6 of 9. The only piece on this record with a string section.
"Determination" — THE REAL Veleria, live at BODY&SOUL Tokyo. Pianist and composer Kazuhiro Takemoto graduated top of his class from the Tokyo University of the Arts jazz programme and studied under Makoto Ozone. Here he writes for strings as well as rhythm: violins, viola and cello over piano, bass, drums and percussion. Classical texture, contemporary jazz, and nothing else on the LP sounds like it.
