Rasmus Faber - Rasmus Faber presents: Platina Jazz ~Anime Standards Vol.1~ (2015) Hi-Res

It’s a given that good arrange albums are going to be difficult to find and while I could have gone for some Gundam rock, my bent for jazz has me looking in that direction. So enter Platina Jazz, an album arranged by Swedish musician Rasmus Faber, which takes 18 pieces from a variety of anime, ranging from oldies like Lupin the Third: Castle of Cagliostro to more recent fare like Macross Frontier. Its chronologically diverse lineup looks promising enough to spur my curiosity. And since it’s so different, why don’t we listen to the music in a laid-back, close-knit setting that complements the mood that Platina Jazz wants us to feel comfortable in. Let’s head over to the Fasching jazz club in Stockholm, Sweden, and watch the performers strut their stuff.
