Chihiro Yamanaka is a Japanese jazz pianist and composer. She has more than a dozen recordings released under her own name, principally on the Verve label, most of which have been released internationally. As of 2012, she is based in New York City. "Reminiscence", her eighth album as leader, is packed with her unique personality, deriving from the accumulation of her years of colorful activities. She creates her unmistakable world by integrating her own swing, bluesiness, funkiness, as well as her free viewpoint towards a wide range of music genres, all in line. A contemporary jazz piano which stretches outwardly after absorbing all of the old school jazz piano - experiencing her free-spirited and full-of-personality groove is part of the thrilling joy only jazz can provide. This album seems to have a special meaning to her. The title is a reminder of the nuclear accident in her hometown of Fukushima.

Mieczysław Kosz – Reminiscence (2005) is a posthumous compilation showcasing the lyrical brilliance of Polish jazz pianist Mieczysław Kosz. A blind virtuoso influenced by classical music and Bill Evans-style jazz, Kosz blended impressionistic harmonies with emotional depth. Reminiscence features solo and trio recordings from the late 1960s and early ’70s, capturing his unique phrasing and introspective style. The album highlights his brief but impactful career before his tragic death in 1973, and stands as a poignant testament to his artistry and legacy in European jazz.

Studio Mule present a re-recording of Motohiko Hamase's Remiscence, originally issued in 1986. Remiscence scores a decent prize at online vinyl-selling platforms and it is worth every penny! It's a perfect "refuge from nasty reality", as the glorious British 20jazzfunkgreats blog once said. And it comes from a man that knows his trade: bass playing. An artisan on his instrument, Hamase also wrote many theoretical books in his more than four decades-long career. In the 1970's Hamase was no stranger to Tokyo's vibrant jazz scene.
