Jazz Impressions of Japan

Jazz Impressions of Japan is a 1964 album by The Dave Brubeck Quartet.

This is how Brubeck himself describes the project: "The tunes in this album are personal impressions from the Quartet's tour of Japan, Spring 1964.

Sights and sounds, exotic in their freshness, arouse the senses to a new awareness.

The music we have prepared tries to convey these minute but lasting impressions, wherein the poet expects the reader to feel the scene himself as an experience.

"[5] "Koto Song" is the only piece from the album that became a Brubeck standard; he would record it numerous times in the following years.
