Swing Journal (SJ) is Japan's leading voice on jazz. The monthly magazine thoroughly covers a huge span of jazz history. The first issue of "Swing Journal" was published in June 1947, shortly after World War II, and has published 750 issues since. Many call it the Japanese "Down Beat". The equivalent of a 5-star review in Down Beat is Swing Journal's "Seal of Approval". Many of the great CDs from Venus Records were awarded this special distinction. Stocks are limited so please order early to avoid disappointment.
