Episode 16: A longer episode this week as we consider the conspicuous absence of women in Japanese jazz kissa culture, and celebrate the small but dedicated number of pioneering female owners who are running their own joints through either choice, circumstance or a combination of both. We also touch on the issue of problematic names and racist tropes in Japanese jazz culture.
