\"Nujabes3\"<\/a>I wanted to post something about Nujabes, a very influential and amazing Japanese jazz\/rap artist and producer.<\/p>\n

I’m not a music expert, so I don’t even know what to call Nujabes’ music. Bass once called it “acid jazz.” To me, it’s almost kind of space music. but, I think the best definition is simply “Japanese Jazz.”<\/p>\n

Nujabes’ music was very dreamy and ethereal, almost ghostly. I’ve included a couple of videos to two of my favourite Nujabes compositions: “Counting Stars” and “Arurian Dance.” But these two songs are just the tip of the iceberg, he literally composed hundreds of jazz songs. He was incredibly prolific.<\/p>\n

Update, my friend Bass is a HUGE Nujabes fan and here is his blog post about Nujabe<\/a>s. He knows a lot more about music than I do:<\/p>\n
