Discovered this gem on tiny desk concert and love love love!

[@btinsley1]

i loved this cd....so much so that i also bought for a 75 year old years ago who was surrounded by musicians of note in his time. He said "that chick is right on the money". true mr. russo !

Walkin' down the Ginza I heard someone blowin' a cadenza. They were playin' bebop And people were drinkin' up some booze. Well the music hit me As hard as a case of influenza. I'm so glad because they played THE TOKYO BLUES. Second chorus I'll take teriyaki. Please pass me another glass of sake. Japanese people Love music and jazz is what they choose. Well I've got to go now, I'll miss all that good old sukiyaki. I'm so sad because I got THE TOKYO BLUES. Jag I'm so sad, sad, sad.

Great lyrics ( & music) by the one & only Mr. Horace Silver.

ﾃﾞﾋﾞｭｰ時度肝抜かれたﾃﾞｨｰ･ﾃﾞｨｰ･ﾌﾞﾘｯｼﾞｳｫｰﾀｰ､このアルバムで健在ぶりと貫禄を!ﾎﾚｽの"トウキョウ･ﾌﾞﾙｰｽ"の凄み #jazzm

[@elaacosta]

I live to listen to her I wish she would wear my #yolokimono

[@Secondhandsongs]

Anybody any idea who wrote the lyrics?

[@muzarecords2537]

!!!

[@nickcarrick3861]

tbh this song low key racist 😂

[@tunefultonyjohnson4100]

Racism IS not really a problem:: there are all kinds of races and tribes on this earth; the problem is the haters or narrow-minded bigots, who like some races and hate others without due cause...... right??

[@eugenemcgirt2357]

Migule Isidro I don't see the "low key racis[m]". Mentioning Japanese people love jazz music doesn't seem racist to me. If someone asserted that caucasian males love baseball that wouldn't be racist either. Some comments are just based on folks making observations, without any ulterior motive.

[@eugenemcgirt2357]

tunefultony johnson Indeed, prejudicial folks that intend to cause harm because of their biases.

[@tunefultonyjohnson4100]

Thank you, Eugene, for your perceptive comments.... I am in full agreement with you. -- By the way, I think that Dee Dee Bridgewater's rendition is top class!! [I am also a massive fan of all Horace Silver's music! ]

[@eugenemcgirt2357]

tunefuitony johnson Thanks, and I agree with your comment on Horace Silver's music.
