bump for awesome.
just found out about a band called "
Hiroshima" while researching asian american jazz. they are a more
literal sort of japanese fusion
this is ace, reminds me of some older anime soundtracks i've heard:

(still looking up other songs at the moment.)
Incognito are great, as are other 'acid jazz and funk' groups. big fan of Jamiroquai. also love the brand new heavies.
