[PRE-ORDER] Tsuyoshi Yamamoto - Shade Of Blue (Wbr) [CD]

Japanese Jazz legend Tsuyoshi Yamamoto's 2023 album, A Shade Of Blue, undoubtedly reflects his love of the piano trio-a formatpioneered in the 1940s by Nat King Cole and further expanded 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 and drummer Toshio Osumi. 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. Previously only available in audio format, this full-length performance was beautifully captured in 4K resolution and is now available on Blu-ray (Dolby Atmos/Stereo)(MQA-CD included). Highlighting it's exceptional sonic quality, the album's acclaimed Dolby Atmos mix was recently ranked #2 in The Absolute Sound's 50 Best-Sounding Immersive Mixes in the jazz category.
