Ryusei Tomoyose is a tenor saxophonist from Okinawa. At the end of the 1960s, he studied under Sadao Watanabe in Tokyo, and after returning home, he devoted himself to nurturing young musicians and became a leader in the Okinawa jazz world. This wonderful album Dah Nah, recorded in 1979, is Tomoyose's first and only leader work. The title “Dah Nah” is an exclamation in the Okinawan dialect that has the meaning of “Ah! Finally!”. Tomoyose was 43 years old at the time of the recording, and already had a career spanning more than 20 years. We are captivated by the vivid and lustrous tenor saxophone in songs such as the vibrant "Movement," the dignified exoticism of "Kirisame," and the motif of the sandy beaches of Yoron Island in "Merabi Samba." It is a wonderful record of Okinawan jazz and a masterpiece that shows the depth of Japanese jazz.

Words by Yusuke Ogawa (Universounds).
