Bob Mintzer Featured on New Tokyo Jazz-Fusion Vinyl Release - Tokyo Skinny Boys Open Pre-Orders for 7-Inch Single "TokyoNOW!" via Diggers Factory

Contemporary jazz-fusion from Tokyo Skinny Boys featuring Bob Mintzer. Limited 7" vinyl pre-order now open.
Tokyo Skinny Boys have announced the launch of pre-orders for their new 7-inch vinyl single, TokyoNOW! (feat. Bob Mintzer), now available through Diggers Factory.
TokyoNOW! is a contemporary jazz-fusion track co-written by Tom Ishizuka and Charlie Ishizuka. Inspired by the energy, diversity, and ever-changing atmosphere of modern Tokyo, the composition blends jazz fusion, funk, soul, and city-pop influences into a sophisticated yet accessible musical experience.
The track captures the pulse of one of the world's most dynamic cities. From neon-lit streets and bustling intersections to quiet late-night moments, TokyoNOW! reflects both the excitement and elegance of urban life. Rich harmonic textures, memorable melodies, and infectious grooves come together to create a sound that feels modern while remaining deeply rooted in the traditions of jazz and soul music.
A special highlight of the recording is the participation of Bob Mintzer, the Grammy Award-winning saxophonist, composer, arranger, educator, and longtime member of the internationally acclaimed jazz-fusion group Yellowjackets. Mintzer's expressive tenor saxophone performance brings additional depth, sophistication, and emotional character to the track. His distinctive sound and world-class musicianship elevate the recording and contribute to its unique identity.
Tokyo Skinny Boys is a Japan-based musical project that explores the intersection of jazz, funk, soul, blues, and contemporary urban music. Drawing inspiration from both classic and modern influences, the project seeks to create music that appeals to listeners across generations and geographic boundaries. Rather than focusing on a single genre, Tokyo Skinny Boys embraces musical diversity and artistic freedom, resulting in recordings that combine strong melodies, rich arrangements, and authentic musicianship.
The release of TokyoNOW! on a 7-inch vinyl format reflects a continued appreciation for physical music media among collectors and music enthusiasts worldwide. Vinyl records have experienced a remarkable resurgence in recent years, attracting both longtime collectors and younger listeners who value the tactile and immersive nature of analog listening experiences. By choosing a limited 7-inch vinyl release, Tokyo Skinny Boys aims to celebrate the enduring appeal of the format while offering fans a collectible edition of the song.
The collaboration with Diggers Factory allows music supporters around the world to participate directly in the production process through pre-orders. The platform has become a popular destination for independent artists and music fans seeking high-quality vinyl releases and unique collector editions.
TokyoNOW! is intended not only as a jazz-fusion recording but also as a musical portrait of contemporary Tokyo. The composition combines urban sophistication, groove-oriented rhythms, and modern production elements while maintaining the improvisational spirit that has long defined jazz music. Listeners will discover influences from jazz fusion, funk, soul, city-pop, and contemporary instrumental music woven together into a distinctive and engaging sound.
With its combination of international collaboration, strong musicianship, and a celebration of modern Tokyo culture, TokyoNOW! represents an exciting new chapter for Tokyo Skinny Boys and a noteworthy addition to the contemporary jazz-fusion landscape.
