  • Root Genre: Jazz
  • Primary Branch: Post-Bop / Hard Bop (Piano Trio Tradition)
  • Secondary Influences: Modal Jazz, Soul Jazz, Latin (via “Black Orpheus”)
  • Textural Identity: Acoustic, warm, intimate, audiophile-grade clarity (TBM signature)
  • Energy Axis: Medium → High (dynamic swings between laid-back groove and explosive interplay)

  This is a quintessential release from the Japanese Three Blind Mice label, and one of the finest examples of the piano trio jazz tradition outside the US. Isao Suzuki leads with a deeply expressive, woody bass tone, while Tsuyoshi Yamamoto delivers lyrical yet powerful phrasing.
