A collection of photographs introducing 30 jazz kissa across Japan taken 2024. "Memories of jazz kissa in 2024". A photo book that is a sequel to "Jazz Kissa 2014" Vol.1 and Vol.2, which introduced a total of 136 jazz kissa in eastern Japan. This book is a photo book, so there are no text articles. The table of contents and store address in Japanese and English are posted. From the Afterword: "The owners of jazz kissas that opened in the 1960s and 1970s, when jazz kissas were at their peak, are now in their 70s and 80s, so in the next five years, more and more long-established establishments will close. However, at the same time, there is also an increasing number of cases where new people take over the business of old establishments. In particular, in recent years, there seems to be an increasing number of young people who want to run jazz kissas. Although jazz kissas will no longer be as prosperous as they were in their heyday, the chances of jazz kissas disappearing from this world have become much lower. There are a total of 30 jazz kissas that I photographed in 2024. Of these, 12 have opened since 2015. In addition, there are four that have been taken over by new owners (《EIGAKAN》 will also be run by a new organization from this April). Please note that only three of these are in Tokyo. Most travelers who come to Japan first try to go to a jazz kissa in Tokyo, and I am often asked by my overseas friends, 'Which jazz kissa should I go to in Tokyo?' However, it seems that the world of jazz kissas is currently seeing a lot of new growth, not in Tokyo, but in the regions, and it is in the regions that many old, traditional jazz kissas still remain. These stores are full of charm that will satisfy jazz kissa lovers. Of course, there are still great stores in Tokyo that you should visit, but I hope that this book will be one of the triggers that will pique jazz kissa lovers' interest in the regions."

Melody As Truth founder Jonny Nash returns to action with his first solo album in four years. Over the course of eleven mesmerising tracks, Nash points the compass gently inwards, casting aside any conceptual frameworks in favour of exploring an imaginative and idealised “personal folk music” that combines elements of traditional acoustic music with the producer’s richly immersive interpretation of ambient, a sound he has been developing for well over a decade. From the smudged acid-folk bliss of ‘Theories’ and ‘Eternal Life’, to the layered acoustic guitars of ‘All I Ever Needed’ and the delay-soaked, Durutti Column-esque ‘Light From Three Sides’, a wide variety of musical textures weave their way throughout the album. Point of Entry is much more than a mere ‘guitar album’ – it draws on a rich and diverse palette to achieve its purpose. The delicate saxophone work of ambient-jazz contemporary Joseph Shabason swells on ‘Ditto’ and ‘Light From Three Sides’. Cascading piano lines ripple through the crystal clear sonic waters of ‘Face of Another’, whilst echoes of Nash’s work with Gigi Masin and Young Marco as Gaussian Curve appear in the dancing synth sequences of ‘Ditto’ and ‘Golden Hour’. Nash’s reverb-laden voice also appears for the first time since 2016’s critically acclaimed Exit Strategies, used delicately throughout the album to conjure up a world of dusk and golden light. Combining the delicate human touch and naivety of earlier Melody As Truth releases with widened scope and vision, Point Of Entry is arguably Nash’s most complete work to date – an album that’s as much a statement of his “personal folk” vision as a future ambient classic.
