BBE uncovers some of the most sought after material from the late 1960s to the early 1980s Japan, pulling together music from key artists who shaped the post-war modern jazz scene.

Join us for an afternoon of listening sessions. Compiled by Tony Higgins and Mike Peden, both long-time collectors of Japanese jazz, 'J Jazz' brings together the very best in modern jazz from Japan, recorded during a critical period of musical and cultural transition that saw composers and musicians not only assert a new artistic identity but also create a lasting musical legacy.

Founded in 1996 by Peter Adarkwah, Barely Breaking Even (BBE Music) started life as a London club night, taking its name from the eponymous Disco record by the Universal Robot Band.
