Isao Suzuki Quartet + 2 - Blue Road
Japanese Import CD
2022
This recording captures a performance by the late Isao Suzuki, a highly respected bassist in the Japanese jazz scene, from May 1975. It's a rare recording from the legendary jazz label Three Blind Mice, which was at the heart of the Japanese jazz scene at the time. This precious gig took place the month after the recording of Suzuki's masterpiece album, "Orangutan," as part of "5 Days in Jazz 1975," a highly anticipated event featuring the same recording members.
Under the supervision of Takeshi Fujii, who ran Three Blind Mice, the recording was digitized from the surviving 2-inch master tapes. The trackdown was handled by Yoshihiko Kannari, the "guardian of the TBM sound," who also worked on this live recording. The TBM sound from half a century ago is faithfully reproduced.
Please enjoy this rare recording from the 1970s, the peak of Japanese jazz.
