Dixieland jazz is the music that captured Makoto Ozone's heart as a child and inspired him to pursue jazz. Even today, as a world-renowned pianist who has traveled extensively from jazz to classical music, the roots of Dixieland jazz remain close to his heart, and this special project, "Original Park Street Kids," traces the roots of that music. A live recording disc held at the long-established jazz club "Body & Soul" on Shibuya's Park Street is now available!
The front members are Yoshihiro Nakagawa, a leading trumpet player in the Dixieland jazz world, and Eijiro Nakagawa, a trombonist who grew up listening to his music. The special featured guest is clarinetist Eiji Kitamura, whom Ozone looks up to not only as a musician but also as a mentor in life. This is a live performance of real Dixieland jazz, not just nostalgia, but a live space filled with the beauty and happiness of music and life in the present.

Missing no longer. Jason Priest (aka Antoni Maiovvi) has resurfaced with the new album, For Your Consideration, on Midnight Mannequin Records. The follow-up to the well-received Jason Priest Is Missing (2021), For Your Consideration sees Priest channeling his inner Bowie and pushing further into pop territory, all the while continuing to ride the synth and shoegaze waves.
