As such the Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Trio left an indelible impression on jazz aficionados with this one.
Since his impressive 1974 debut on the legendary Three Blind Mice label, Japanese pianist Tsuyoshi Yamamoto has built a career that now spans four decades. On "Blues For K", the spirit of the legendary TBM era can be felt in every note of his trio: The reunion session dedicated to legendary TBM sound engineer Yoshihiko Kannari was recorded on June 20, 2022 at his private studio (Studio Lion) in Nasu, Tochigi. No one else succeeds as well as Kannari in capturing the magic of this outstanding trio, which also includes Hiroshi Kagawa (bass) and Hisao Osumi (drums), who deliver a rousing performance on "Blues For K" and demonstrate their unparalleled musical synergy.
The trio knows how to inspire with exquisite interpretations of a wide variety of jazz styles and radiates a timeless elegance that combines melodic sophistication with rhythmic finesse. Every note is full of emotion and takes the listener away from a fascinating world of sound. Of course, it's Yamamoto who pulls the strings, showing that his sense of space and timing has become even more amazing over the years! For him, it's never the material he chooses that matters, but how he peels out the substance of the piece with his trio and how that trio is received, which has always been an essential aspect of Tsuyoshi's recordings in the '70s.
