Description

WaJazz Legends presents the ultimate Jiro Inagaki collection, tracing the 1968–1980 golden age of one of Japan’s most iconic saxophone players and his Soul Media universe. Selected by Universounds founder Yusuke Ogawa - one of the most meticulous archival minds in the scene - this set is designed as both a listening experience and a historical document, spanning jazz, jazz-funk, and jazz-rock with the kind of power and clarity that made these recordings collector staples.

The presentation matches the scope: a gatefold 2LP pressed on gold vinyl, reverse board print, extensive track-by-track liner notes by Ogawa, comments from Inagaki himself, and exclusive photos. The inclusion of an unreleased “Express (No SE Version)” on vinyl for the first time seals it as a true archival release, not just a compilation. Cut at Timmion Cutting Lab and fully licensed by Nippon Columbia, it’s a definitive statement piece for any Wa-Jazz shelf.
