JAZZ KISSA with Jayesh
Jazz Kissa (Japanese: ジャズ喫茶), are cafés found in
Japan that specialise in the playing and appreciation of recorded jazz music.
A typical jazz kissa features a high-quality audio system, a large music collection, dim lighting, and serves coffee and alcoholic drinks. Originating in the 1920s as part of a wider enthusiasm for Western culture and music – these spaces were an important musical resource for musicians, journalists and jazz enthusiasts.
