Yes! There is plenty of great Jazz music from Japan.

Masayuki "Jojo" Takayanagi is probably my favorite, and probably the most well known as well. Kaoru Abe, who worked with Jojo on many of his most famous recordings, is also widely regarded as being the epitome of great, contemporary jazz music--not only in Japan, but all over the world.

Otomo Yoshihide is another favorite of mine. He made electronic music for 15 years, but has now concentrated on jazz--I think all of his releases in the past three years or so have been live jazz albums. His guitar work truly shines on some of those tracks, too. He doesn't get enough respect.
