Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Trio – A Shade Of Blue – Chesky Records – Hybrid SACD

Japanese Jazz legend Tsuyoshi Yamamoto’s new album, A Shade Of Blue, undoubtedly reflects his love of the piano trio, a
group configuration that in jazz history began in the 1940s with Nat King Cole and then was developed in the 50s by innovators
like Oscar Peterson, Ahmad Jamal, and Bill Evans. Yamamoto’s highly experienced trio – which has a combined age of 215
years – features bassist Hiroshi Kagawa (香川 裕史) and drummer Toshio Osumi (大隅 寿男). A Shade Of Blue reveals the
three musicians’ incredible musical chemistry; listening to the ten tracks they’ve recorded together, it’s as if they breathe, think,
and feel as one person; such is the musical empathy between them. A Shade Of Blue will be released by evosound on MQACD,
SACD- Hybrid Multi-Channel, 180g Double Vinyl LP (audiophile pressing) on the 27th October 2023.
