Tamori wearing his signature shades
 
This wonderfully surreal clip from a 1986 episode of Japanese TV variety show It’s Okay To Laugh hosted by popular comedian Tamori (who is never seen in public without sunglasses) takes a classic Japanese fairytale called “The Peach Boy” and melds it with American jazz to create something truly unique. And it gets progressively more unique as it goes along.

Featuring “Milestones” - Miles Davis, “Misterioso” - Thelonious Monk, “Sister Sadie” - Horace Silver, “Waltz For Debby” - Bill Evans, “Doxy” - Sonny Rollins, “Maiden Voyage” - Herbie Hancock, “Donna Lee” - Charlie Parker, “Moment’s Notice” - John Coltrane…and more.
