The trio achieves a flawless blend of rhythm, subtlety, and technical brilliance, seamlessly weaving the era’s bossa nova influences with the trio’s signature jazz swing, demonstrating their exceptional ability to infuse familiar styles with fresh energy and creative sophistication. Each track on We Get Requests highlights the musicians’ remarkable synergy. Peterson’s inventive phrasing, Brown’s creative bass lines, and Thigpen’s nuanced rhythms create a vibrant and profound sound that is uniquely their own.

Great version of a class jazz album. SHM-SACD sounds fantastic. Great packaging. Great price. Highly recommended.

One of my all time favourite albums by female singer. Beautiful re-issue on UHQCD and great sound! An absolute must buy.

Misty - Live At Jazz is is a breathtaking live performance that captures the essence of Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Trio’s brilliance. From the first note, you’re enveloped in a vibrant atmosphere where every note feels alive, resonating with passion and expertise. The trio’s chemistry is undeniable, and their ability to improvise while maintaining such intricate harmony is awe-inspiring. The live recording adds an exciting dimension, making it feel as though you are right there in the audience, experiencing the performance firsthand. Yamamoto’s piano shines with such sensitivity and intensity, complemented perfectly by the bass and drums. The dynamics are spot on, and the energy of the live setting really elevates the listening experience. The vinyl pressing is excellent, providing rich, warm sound that makes the music come alive. Highly recommended for any jazz lover or collector!

As a long-time jazz enthusiast, I was excited to listen to Kono Subarashiki Sekai, and it did not disappoint. Tsuyoshi Yamamoto’s trio delivers an exceptional mix of intricate melodies, smooth improvisation, and deep emotion throughout the album. The balance between rhythm and harmony is masterfully executed, creating a beautiful musical landscape. The standout tracks showcase their unique chemistry and ability to tell a story without words. The piano work by Yamamoto is delicate yet powerful, and the accompanying bass and drums provide a solid foundation that allows the melodies to truly shine. The vinyl pressing itself is superb, with rich, warm tones that truly capture the essence of jazz. Whether you’re a seasoned jazz fan or a newcomer, this album is an absolute must-have for your collection. Highly recommended!

Africa is a mix of post bop and avant-garde jazz. Pharoah Sanders is a great explorer and his creative powers are quite apparent on Africa.

The Chopin Project is clearly a canvas of musical conversation that takes place within the quartet; a kind of story crafted from selected Chopin works. One could say that Chopin’s melodies, slightly improvised the first time round serve as a compass point for each musician to unravel their own personal dialogue with Chopin. This album can only therefore be described as a masterclass in re-imagining one of the greatest classical composers of our time, performed by some of the greatest contemporary musicians of our time.

The record fits together as a whole more tightly than any other George Benson project, thanks to his versatile talents and the miraculous overarching unity of the Beatles' songs.

Saxophonist Joshua Redman, pianist Brad Mehldau, bassist Christian McBride, and drummer Brian Blade are long-established masters, and a foregone conclusion that what you’re about to hear will surely be stellar. And it is. LongGone ultimately isn’t about the dexterity of the individual. It’s a textbook display of what happens when a group of musicians — each a leader in his own right-understand and trust one another enough to let the music go where it must.

Many people say that sleeping is like a free trial of death, you’re not dead, but you’re not fully experiencing what it means to be alive either. It’s a vague, humorous explanation. Somni, on the other hand, is an excellent portrayal of the trance and the journey of being in the land of dreams. It doesn’t use words, but pure sonic experience. Unlike most of their other work, here you find melodies that feel suspended in the air and sound textures that intrigue. An interesting recording, 100% recommended.

This is a beautiful reissue of a timeless jazz-funk classic from Jiro Inagaki & Soul Media. The clear sky blue vinyl looks stunning in person and matches the warm, atmospheric vibe of the music perfectly. The sound quality is excellent — clean, full, and well-balanced with great presence on the horns and rhythm section. The album blends soulful grooves, mellow jazz lines, and a nostalgic mood that makes it easy to keep flipping back to Side A. Even if you’re not deeply into jazz-funk, this pressing is smooth, accessible, and very enjoyable from start to finish. A great addition to any vinyl collection.

This limited reissue of Toki by the Hidefumi Toki Quartet is a wonderful addition for anyone who enjoys smooth, expressive Japanese jazz. The recording has a warm, intimate feel, and Toki’s saxophone tone is especially beautiful — rich, airy, and full of emotion. The pressing quality is impressive: low surface noise, clean dynamics, and a nice balance between the rhythm section and the lead lines. It’s the kind of record that feels great both for focused listening and for relaxing late-night spins. A timeless session that absolutely deserves to be back in print. Highly recommended if you’re exploring 70s–80s Japanese jazz or simply want a refined, soulful record in your collection.

Zigazo is a fantastic reissue from Isao Suzuki, showcasing his unique approach to tone, groove, and improvisation. The album blends deep, earthy bass lines with vibrant jazz fusion colors, creating a sound that is both experimental and very listenable. The pressing quality is excellent — clean playback, solid dynamics, and a warm, detailed low end that really highlights Suzuki’s musicianship. The vinyl feels well-produced and quiet, making the overall experience very enjoyable. Whether you’re a long-time collector of Japanese jazz or just discovering Suzuki’s work, this edition is a strong pick. A distinctive and rewarding record that’s easy to recommend.

I was excited to see what a jazz piano trio arrangement of fusion music would sound like. Even if you're not familiar with Weather Report, I think this arrangement is enjoyable enough. Makoto Kuriya's piano sound is clear and powerful. Koichi Osamu's thick, heavy, and powerful bass. Hiroyuki Noritake's drums are surprisingly vivid. I'd love to see more jazz and fusion sounds like this...

There are artists who play the Weather Report like this!! It's too great. I was surprised. The tension of the performance is great, but there is another arrangement.

A great album featuring lots of classic jazz tracks with very good sound quality. A great album to chill out with!

Great second album from Laufey. Maintains the same hopeless romantic theme as her first release which sits perfectly in the Jazz genre. Love the creative lyric writing with some wonderful music composition. Four stars here with five for the first release. The Japan release is a standout!
