Seamless Fusion: Connecting Music Across Eras and Styles
And even though the range of the music selection is extremely wide, it is balanced in a way that it is not miscellaneous. I believe that the reason why Eagle has survived for so many years is because all the music selections are calculated, and almost all the selections have intention and consideration put into them.
In most jazz kissas, the owner probably selects an album on the spot and plays it on the spot. However, this is not the case at Eagle. Goto carefully selects albums suitable for Eagle from a large number of albums, and has created a unique system to play them in a well-thought-out order.
Eagle has a huge list of song selection patterns, and the albums are always played in that order. When a new album is added to the rotation, a new list is created and the album is played accordingly. In this way, the music selection at Eagle is updated and brushed up many times. Even when Goto is not available, the staff plays the songs on the list he has prepared, so you can enjoy his music selections at any time of the day. This is the reason why the Eagle atmosphere is always maintained, no matter what time of day you go. For decades, Goto has been selecting music more like a compilation craftsman or playlist craftsman than a DJ.
The jazz selections are from a variety of styles, eras, and regions, but they are all albums that fit the mood and flow of the music selections. Sometimes the latest UK jazz, albums that were popular with DJs in the 90s, or albums that have been sampled on hip-hop classics are played. These are all played naturally in a calculated flow, along with classic albums by Bud Powell and John Coltrane.
