After the sublime releases of parts 1 and 2 from B.J. Smiths Between Ship and Shore 3 part EP series, we take a breather before we get to the final part to bring you these selections from Japanese Jazz and electronic music legend, Ryo Kawasaki...

We have gone through Ryo's extensive catalogue to bring you a section of what we consider are his finest works, but to be honest we could have easily added 20 more to this list.
