New Mags - Jazz Kissa

The book from New Mags, Jazz Kissa, takes you into the heart of Japanese jazz culture and explores iconic jazz cafés in Japan. For over fifteen years, photographer and cultural historian Katsumasa Kusunose has documented these intimate environments and the people who keep their spirit alive. With a foreword by Devon Turnbull, founder of Ojas, the philosophy of these cafés is connected to today's global interest in high-quality sound culture. The book also highlights the design of the Hi-Fi equipment, from the legendary Altec A7 to iconic JBL speakers and custom-built amplifiers, and shows how the form of the machines influences the audio experience.
