MASURU IMADA TRIO PLUS 2 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Le Tres Jazz Club revive a 1975 gem with this reissue of Masaru Imada Trio + 2's 'Green Caterpillar', originally released on the revered Japanese jazz label Three Blind Mice. Spearheaded by Fuzati of Klub Des Loosers, the label remains committed to exhuming essential jazz hystereses on vinyl, where 'Green Caterpillar' standing as one of its inaugural releases. Masaru Imada's masterful Rhodes control epitomises the album's sound, recalling the textures of Marc Moulin's Placebo, a key influence of Imada's. 'A Straight Flash' follows in the same spirit, while 'Blue Impulse' and 'Spanish Flower' capture the artist's modal jazz virtues. Heightening the appreciation of Japanese jazz outside its home country, Three Blind Mice have redeployed Green Caterpillar as one of the best wrought records for the achievement of international recognition.
