Title Description:

Vital Review:
One of the most original groups in modern Japan, Compostela blends folk
musics of Eastern Europe with the tradition of Japanese chindon (street
musicians who play at grand openings of supermarkets and pachinko
parlors, dressed as geishas and samurai). The late saxophonist Shinoda
Masami was one of the most exciting musicians of recent years, the first
to bring klezmer and Eastern European music to the Japanese audience.
This special compilation, which includes original compositons as well as
tunes by Sidney Bechet, Victor Jara and Gilrod & Sandler, was assembled
by Compostela's surviving members to pay tribute to one of Japan's
musical luminaries.
