Yamame (山女魚)

Jazz saxophonist Akira Miyazawa's 1962 debut album captures the essence of a mountain stream through avant-garde sound. Named after a freshwater salmon, "Yamame" blends Miyazawa's passion for fishing with his pioneering vision of Japanese jazz. Originally titled simply "Akira Miyazawa," the album was reissued in 1977 under its now-iconic name. A historic masterpiece that helped establish Japan's jazz foundation.
