Yuji Ohno’s noir jazz masterpiece—urban grooves and cinematic flair from a pivotal moment in Japanese music.
Yuji Ohno’s ‘Proof Of The Man’ is a defining statement in Japanese jazz, effortlessly bridging cinematic scope with urban cool. Originally composed as the soundtrack for the 1977 film ‘Ningen no Shōmei’, this album is the work of a visionary at the height of his powers. Ohno, revered for his lush harmonies and deft arrangements, crafts a soundscape that conjures rain-soaked neon streets and late-night city wanderings. Each track is steeped in a sophisticated melancholy, blending jazz with subtle funk and soul influences that reflect Tokyo’s cosmopolitan energy of the era. The album’s cultural impact is undeniable—its theme song became an anthem of postwar Japanese cinema, and Ohno’s approach helped define the sound of noir for a generation. For collectors, ‘Proof Of The Man’ is a crucial piece of history: not only a jazz record, but a document of shifting aesthetics in 1970s Japan. Whether you’re a longtime aficionado or discovering Yuji Ohno for the first time, this album delivers both musical intrigue and emotional resonance. This is a record that rewards deep listening and proudly belongs in any serious collection.
