Kyoto Jazz Sextet - Dosojin No Uta - Vinyl Record

Celebrating their 10th anniversary in 2025, Kyoto Jazz Sextet has made an urgent return with a 12-inch vinyl release. The group offers a spiritual yet danceable jazz arrangement of 'Dosojin no Uta,' a traditional folk song from Nozawa Onsen Village in Nagano Prefecture. Originally demoed in 2022 and featured during the live-streamed Dosojin Fire Festival, the track drew quiet attention and has now been completed with newly recorded drums and bass for the 2025 release. It was also selected as the commercial theme for 'THE GIN SODA,' a new beverage made with gin from the Nozawa Onsen Village Distillery and launched in Lawson stores nationwide in March 2025-earning the song widespread buzz. On the flip side is 'Extra Freedom,' Kyoto Jazz Sextet's biggest hit to date with over one million streams on Spotify. Also included is a newly recorded jazz version of 'Still In Love,' a global anthem famously covered by Shuya Okino, this time featuring Navasha Daya and Tomoki Sanders. This release showcases both the group's musical evolution and their strongest material yet-a sublime record not to be missed. This is also the inaugural release from KJCC (Kyoto Jazzy Creative Council), a new collective founded by Shuya Okino, Yukari BB (Jazz Sport Kyoto), and Masaki Tamura (DoitJAZZ!). The Japanese title on the jacket was handwritten by Shuya Okino himself. LISTEN: https://youtu. Be/HRnKDyGBp_4Tracklist:Side A1. DOSOJIN NO UTA2. EXTRA FREEDOMSide B1. STILL IN LOVE
