Album Artist

Jazzen Shakuhachi : John Kaizan Neptune
This tune was first recorded for Japan's quasi-government NHK Radio for use as the theme for their daily English Conversation Hour. The title wasn't intended to suggest that students skip their English studies. Instead, it comes from the "bounce" rhythm that is not "swing: and not "straight"-it sort of skips!
