Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Trio Gentle Blues (2 LP)

Venus Masterpiece Collection Limited Edition 180g Vinyl Double LP!
The selection of titles for Gentle Blues includes the Japanese title Tsuki No Sabaku (Desert on the Moon) as well as a composition by Yamamoto, Gentle Blues, in addition to well-known standards. His bluesy, sometimes funky piano style is supported by the swinging bassist Hiroshi Kagawa and the drummer Toshio Osumi.
Since his stunning debut in 1974 with the world-famous audiophile recordings for the Three Blind Mice label, Japanese pianist Tsuyoshi Yamamoto has built a career that now spans four decades.
On 2013's Gentle Blues, Yamamoto's bluesy and sometimes funky piano style is buoyed by the strong, swinging support of bassist Hiroshi Kagawa and drummer Toshio Osumi. Together, they make muscular and uplifting music. The tracks are mostly well-known standards, rounded out by a Japanese song "Tsuki No Sabaku (Desert on the Moon)" and Yamamoto's original composition "Gentle Blues."
Venus LPs are pressed only once. After the first edition has been sold, the titles will be removed from the catalogue. Collectors should therefore consider buying in good time.
