Their club-night "Kyoto Jazz Massive" is almost legendary! They organise regularly club-nights in Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto since the early nineties, and their concept of playing old and new full spectrum sets was and still is a similar concept to regular jazz-orientated club-nights like the Mojo-Club (Hamburg), THIS! @ Bar Rhumba (London) or Into Somethin' @ Muffatcafe (Munich).
