Bittersweet Stories of Pepe: Shinjuku Pt. 3

TOKYO JAZZ JOINTS - A podcast by Philip Arneill & James Catchpole

Episode 6: If you always wondered where Dean Martin, scuba diving, Japanese paratroopers and jazz intersect, it’s in this episode! Sadder stories this week as James gets speechless, and we celebrate two lost jazz joint gems. In our final instalment from Shinjuku we visit the indomitable Jazz Room Stick and recount our bittersweet discovery of Jazz Pepe, both of which sadly no longer exist. 'Otsukare-san' to both! Listen to experience them how they are best remembered. Thanks as always to Brian at Grooves Ahead for audio help and Louie Lastic for the theme music.
