LP ... About November 10, 2018

Great Jazz Trio
Great Jazz Trio At The Village Vanguard AgainEast Wind/Universal (Japan), 1977.
CD ... On December 5, 2018
The Village Vanguard seemed to be one of the greatest settings for the Great Jazz Trio of Hank Jones, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams – as the venue really let them stretch out in the kind of loose, open lines that made their 70s albums so great! This set's the 3rd that the trio recorded at ... CD
Great Jazz Trio
MoreoverEast Wind/Universal (Japan), 1980.
CD ... About December 5, 2018
A slightly different lineup than usual for the Great Jazz Trio – but a great one too, and proof that the group had way more to offer than just familiar trio grooving! This time around, Eddie Gomez is on bass – making for a wonderfully full, rich sound in the rhythms – a perfect ... CD
Great Jazz Trio
Chapter IIEast Wind/Universal (Japan), 1980.
CD ... About December 5, 2018
The second part of a great Japanese-only session recorded in 1980 – one that features a later edition of the Great Jazz Trio – with Eddie Gomez on bass and Al Foster on drums, next to piano by usual group member Hank Jones! The set's got a hipper feel than usual for the group – ... CD
Great Jazz Trio
Direct From LAEast Wind/Universal (Japan), 1978.
CD ... On December 5, 2018
The Great Jazz Trio really stretch out here – taking each of the album's four songs at a mighty relaxed pace – which allows even more room than ever for the creative expression of Hank Jones on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Tony Williams on drums! The cover's got a slick look that ... CD
Pentagon (Cedar Walton, Clifford Jordan, etc)
PentagonEast Wind/Universal (Japan), 1976.
CD ... About December 5, 2018
A really wonderful album that's sometimes overlooked because of it's relatively oblique cover and name – which both hide the wonderful talents within! In truth, the set might be billed as a Cedar Walton session – or maybe almost an Eastern Rebellion one – as the vibe here is very ... CD
Three (Joe Sample, Ray Brown, Shelly Manne)
ThreeEast Wind (Japan), 1975.
CD ... About December 5, 2018
Quite possibly one of the most successful Japanese piano trio recordings of the 70s – a super-session performed by a group that includes Joe Sample on acoustic piano, Ray Brown on bass, and Shelly Manne on drums! Given that Sample's best known during the era for his electric keys with the ... CD
Rainbow featuring Will Boulware

CD ... On December 5, 2018
A buttery smooth set of Japanese fusion from the 70s – featuring all-star American players like Eric Gale, Steve Gadd, Ralph MacDonald, Cornell Dupree, Michael Brecker, and keyboardist Will Boulware. The strength of the set lies on the interplay between Boulware's work on Fender Rhodes and ... CD
Great Jazz Trio
Great Tokyo MeetingEast Wind/Universal (Japan), 1978.
CD ... About December 5, 2018
A great Tokyo meeting from this wonderful trio – and a great little record that even stands out from most of their others from the time! The set's got a surprising amount of original material by the members of the group – as each player contributes at least one title – and these ... CD
Great Jazz Trio
MilestonesEast Wind/Universal (Japan), 1978.
CD ... About December 5, 2018
One of a number of late 70s milestones from the Great Jazz Trio – that sublime grouping of Hank Jones on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Tony Williams on drums! Like the rest of their gems from the time, the album's got this simple, subtle brilliance – a way of approaching piano trio ... CD
LA 4
Going HomeEast Wind/Universal (Japan), 1977.
CD ... About December 5, 2018
Wonderful work from this really unique west coast combo of the 70s – a quartet that draws plenty from key contributions of each of its members – but which also has a very special sound in the acoustic guitar of Laurindo Almeida! Almeida's a player who'd already been working in LA for ... CD
East Wind/Universal (Japan), 1977.
CD ... About December 5, 2018
A beautiful group, and one with a very unique sound – a style that draws from the early 50s experiments in Brazilian jazz by Bud Shank and Laurindo Almeida – but which also moves the approach into even more sophisticated 70s territory! The quartet features Almeida on acoustic guitar ... CD
Jackie McLean & The Great Jazz Trio
New Wine In Old BottlesEast Wind/Universal (Japan), 1978.
CD ... About December 5, 2018
A very apt title – as Jackie McLean sits in for a soulful session with the Great Jazz Trio of Hank Jones, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams – all "old bottles" at this point in their career, but working together beautifully to brew some very mellow "new wine"! The album' ... CD
Great Jazz Trio
Kindness Joy Love & HappinessEast Wind/Universal (Japan), 1977.

Terumasa Hino
Alone Together (Japanese paper sleeve edition)Takt/Columbia (Japan), 1970.
CD ... About October 24, 2018
An early US session from trumpeter Terumasa Hino – working here in a very long and stretched-out style – very much the most edgy modes of his earliest years! Tracks are all quite long, and really open up with fierce horn work – both from Hino on trumpet and flugelhorn, and from ... CD
Terumasa Hino
Into The Heaven (Japanese paper sleeve edition)Takt/Columbia (Japan), 1970.
CD ... About October 24, 2018

Terumasa Hino Quintet
Hi-Nology (Japanese paper sleeve edition)Takt/Columbia (Japan), 1969.
CD ... About October 24, 2018
A pivotal recording from Japanese trumpeter Terumasa Hino – done in a crackling electric mode that's a real departure from his earlier work! Terumasa's probably gotten a bit of inspiration here from Bitches Brew (as you might guess from one of the titles, "Like Miles") – but ... CD
Takt/Columbia (Japan), 1968.
CD ... About October 24, 2018

CD ... About October 24, 2018
An incredible session of Japanese hard bop from the 60s – recorded by the crack quintet of trumpeter Terumasa Hino and pianist Masabumi Kikuchi! The feel here is very much in that Blue Note modern mode of the late 60s – with drawn-out tracks that hit a slightly modal groove that ... CD
Terumasa Hino & His Group
Feelin' Good (Japanese paper sleeve edition)Takt/Columbia (Japan), 1968.
CD ... About October 24, 2018
An early hardbop gem from Japanese trumpeter Terumasa Hino – quite different than you might think from his more famous work of the 70s – with a rolling, soulful groove that would almost be at home on 60s Blue Note! Given Hino's chosen instrument, we'd probably link this one best to ... CD
Terumasa Hino Quartet
Alone, Alone & Alone (Japanese paper sleeve edition)Takt/Columbia (Japan), 1967.
CD ... About October 24, 2018
One of the great ones from the young Terumasa Hino – a beautiful quartet session that really demonstrates his strength as a soloist on the trumpet! As you might guess from the title, there's a nice sense of melancholy to the record – a blueness that's carried off wonderfully by Hino on ... CD

There's a nicely warming vibe on this album from Keith Jarrett – a sound that's sometimes a bit more laidback and personal, but which is still carried off with familiar associates Dewey Redman on tenor, Charlie Haden on bass, and Paul Motian on drums! Most of the tunes are shorter ... CD
Keith Jarrett
ShadesABC/Impulse (Japan), 1975.
CD ... About December 5, 2018
A lost gem from Keith's "with horns" period – a quintet session from the mid 70s, recorded with a group that features Dewey Redman on tenor, plus Charlie Haden on bass, Paul Motian on drums and percussion, and Guilherme Franco on additional percussion. The feel is a bit straighter ... CD
Keith Jarrett
MysteriesImpulse (Japan), 1975.
CD ... About December 5, 2018
Dark and moody work from Keith Jarrett – a record that builds strongly off his ensemble feeling of the Impulse years, but which also seems to carry a bit more of the introspective vibe he was building up in some of his more stripped down solo recordings! The group's still a great one here ... CD

Back HandABC/Impulse (Japan), 1974.
CD ... About December 5, 2018
Prime Keith Jarrett on Impulse Records – and a still-wonderful session that features work by Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden, and Paul Motian! The sound here is a bit more focused than on some of Jarrett's earlier Impulse sides – but still has that rich and organic sound overall – ... CD

Lorraine Geller At The PianoDot/Universal (Japan), 1954.
CD ... About December 5, 2018
One of the few albums ever cut as a leader by pianist Lorraine Geller – a player who's probably best remembered for her work with saxophonist (and husband) Herb Geller, but who also really swings nicely on her own! The album has Lorraine working with an LA trio that features Leroy Vinnegar ... CD
Al Cohn & Zoot Sims
Al & ZootCoral/Universal (Japan), 1957.
CD ... About December 5, 2018
Tremendous horn interplay from the team of Al Cohn and Zoot Sims – and a record that may well be one of the best illustrations of their famous magic together in the 50s! The record's got a way of focusing energy, yet letting each player state themselves clearly and cleanly – almost a ... CD
Eddie Costa Quartet
Guys And Dolls Like VibesDecca (Japan), 1958.
CD ... About December 5, 2018
Forget the theme of this one – because the album's a lot hipper than you'd expect! Sure, it's one of those "jazz meets showtunes" albums – in this case, tunes from Guys & Dolls – but the group's a sharply modern one, and features the vibes of Eddie Costa in a ... CD
