BBE Music presents the fourth release in their acclaimed J Jazz Masterclass Series: Topology by Makoto Terashita and Harold Land. Originally released in 1983 on the cult Aketa's Disk label, Topology captures a surprising yet fascinating and engaging collaboration between a young Japanese jazz pianist and an elder American statesman of jazz. Reissued by BBE Music for the first time since original release 36 years ago, Topology showcases the extraordinary compositional and playing skill of Makoto Terashita, the young pianist responsible for five of the album's six tracks, alongside the confident and seasoned tones of Harold Land, respected US veteran sax player and former colleague of some of the leading jazz artists of the 50s, 60s and 70s including Max Roach, Clifford Brown, Gerald Wilson and Bobby Hutcherson. By the time he came to record with Terashita in 1983, Land was in his mid-50s and had numerous album credits under his belt, including some twelve albums as leader. In contrast, Terashita was in his early 30s with just one album to his name, his stunning 1978 debut Great Harvest. Notwithstanding the apparent disparity in experience, the creative relationship they fostered is audibly evident in the wonderful music that was captured during the recording session. Topology kicks off with 'Dragon Dance', an epic spiritual jazz tour de force elegantly ushered in by an extended solo piano introduction from Terashita. This track was chosen to open volume 2 of BBE's universally praised 'J Jazz' compilation. The energy and impact of tracks like 'Dragon Dance' and the powerful bop of 'Crossing'- both Terashitsa-penned numbers - is balanced by more nuanced and reflective tracks like Land's own composition 'World Peace'. In total, Topology presents the listener with a complete experience of two musicians from different generations and countries united in musical spirit. A long out of print rarity known only to a handful of Japanese jazz collectors, Topology is now available once more, reissued for the first time as a 45rpm double 180g LP, featuring exact reproductions of the original artwork, obi strip and insert. It also comes with the original notes fully translated plus a new extended 3700 word essay by Tony Higgins. Topology is also available as a CD and across digital formats. The J Jazz Masterclass Series is personally curated by Tony Higgins and Mike Peden and is dedicated to presenting the very finest in Japanese jazz. The series features rare and unreleased material presented in the highest quality reproductions of the original releases, fully licensed and authorised.

Price And Comfort Conscious? Buy These!
Size: 10.5, Color: Black Leather
For the price, these are a great value. Super comfortable. I was looking for a shoe I could wear all day. Usually, this means you need rubber soles (no wood). You can't resole many one-piece rubber sole heels, but that's fine. Rarely do I do that since the top of the shoe shows so much wear, it makes me want to get a new pair of shoes no matter how much shoe-shining I do.
I own Saks 5th Avenue brand shoes, Cole Haan, and many other pricey shoes. Sure these Clark's don't look as sharp as Italian-made shoes. But Clark's are comfortable. With this particular shoe, they struck the right balance between fashionable and functional--a rare feat indeed!
My feet are normal width (D). Half my shoes are 11, the other 10.5. I got these in 10.5 and they fit fine. The toe box is only slightly snug, but I'm hoping they will stretch out in a month or so. I probably should have done 11's. If you are in the middle like me, err on a half size larger. I had a chance to try these on at a store (hesitated to buy at first). The toe box is long and the 11 seemed kind of big, so I went down a notch. In hindsight, 11 was the right size.
I couple things I could do without are the side slits that have elastic. They are minimal though. And at the end of the day, you probably don't need to untie your shoes to kick these off, but I don't recommend that. I was also not crazy about the inner lining. It kind of looks like pleather, to be totally honest. Either that or it's super thin and shiny leather. They have a cheap look to them on the inside, but who cares because you don't see them.
Overall, great shoes. Way to go Clark! These ones are winners and they look great with suit pants or nice jeans.

Good quality
Size: 13, Color: Black Leather, Size: 13, Color: Black Leather
These fit true to size in length but like any cap toe Oxford, you will have a lil more space at the tip. The width is a little narrow for regular feet but still fit properly. If you have wide feet definitely go with the wide option. The leather feels nice and soft. They are fairly comfortable. I even compared them to cap toe Nunn Bush shoes I have and they’re more comfy. The front of the shoe/tongue doesn’t dig into my ankle like the Nunn Bush pair does.

Good deal
Size: 8.5, Color: Black Leather
Honestly for the price there hard to beat. They look nice and are comfortable indeed, I like the silent step "non clackers" . For the size I'll recommend your normal size as they have a built in stretch part for extra comfort unless you know you have wide feet then go for the W, my 8 1/2 (non wide) fit perfectly without an issue. I'm just surprised that they came not in a box, there wrapped up well though didn't come damaged. For fancy shoes that don't come in a box there pretty good. 👍

The perfect work shoe
Size: 13, Color: Black Leather
I wear dress shoes everyday and I’m on my feet a lot. My wife is the same way and would always praise Clarks, but I didn’t think much of it. I’d always get Nunn Bush or something like that, but they weren’t comfortable or last very long. I happened to be at a Clarks store that was closing one time and picked up a pair of these and boy did everything change that day. Not only are they comfortable they last a long time. I get about one pair a year. That doesn’t mean they only last a year, I just try to keep a nice looking pair. I can wear them all day and my feet don’t hurt. And you get all the comfort without the bulkiness of other comfort footwear companies. They fit nice and don’t pinch or rub anywhere. They are definitely worth the full price, but they go on sale regularly to an even better deal so keep an eye out.

Classic elegance with unmatched comfort
Size: 11 Wide, Color: Black Leather, Size: 11 Wide, Color: Black Leather
I recently purchased the Clarks Men's Oxford shoes, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. These shoes effortlessly blend classic elegance with unmatched comfort, making them a perfect addition to any wardrobe.
The first thing that caught my attention was the timeless design. The Oxfords feature a sleek silhouette and high-quality leather craftsmanship that exude sophistication. Whether paired with formal attire or dressed down for a more casual look, these shoes consistently elevate my style.
Beyond their aesthetics, the comfort level is exceptional. The cushioned insole provides excellent support throughout the day, making them ideal for long hours on my feet. Additionally, the outsole offers a confident grip, ensuring stability on various surfaces.
I also appreciate the attention to detail in the stitching and overall construction. It's evident that Clarks prioritizes durability, and I believe these shoes will stand the test of time.
One minor aspect worth mentioning is the initial break-in period. Like most high-quality leather shoes, they required a few wears to conform to my feet perfectly. However, once they molded, the fit became incredibly comfortable.
In conclusion, the Clarks Men's Oxford shoes offer a winning combination of style, comfort, and durability. Whether for formal events or daily wear, they consistently deliver a polished and refined look. I highly recommend these Oxfords to anyone seeking a timeless and reliable footwear option.
