All That Jazz -- In Tokyo?

By Kelly Anders

ADVERTISEMENTS

There?s an interesting article in The Wall Street Journal about the popularity of jazz in Japan, particularly in Tokyo.

Also, there are some great jazz musicians who hail from Japan, including Keiko Matsui, and the wonderful group, Hiroshima. Speaking of jazz, I once worked with a colleague who had a small, hidden radio in his office, and jazz was always softly playing in the background, even when he left for the day. For some odd reason, the sound never seemed intrusive; instead, it was just?nice. Does music belong in the office? Can we, do we, whistle while we work in academia? If so, to what?
