IWANAMI passed away in Japanese |
Jazz critics, Yozo Iwanami passed away of heart failure on Oct. 5, 2012. He was 79 years old. He was the chief editor of Jazz Magagine "Swing Journal", and appeared often in TV and raidio also. He wrote many books about Jazz for example, "This is the Jazz history - its lies and trues -". I met him often when Salena Jones or Suzie Kuroiwa came to Tokyo. Suzie's Live at Ginza Swing in March 2012 was the last time we met and we shared the table. He was writing something while he listend her songs. It might be liner notes or something. Salena used to call him "Yozo, Yozo". |
