{"product_id":"tsuyoshi-yamamoto-trio-midnight-sugar","title":"Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Trio - Midnight Sugar (2025 reissue)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the monumental first album by Japanese Jazz pianist Tsuyoshi Yamamoto, who later became one of the two major artists on the Three Blind Mice label along with Isao Suzuki. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMidnight Sugar is the debut headline performance by legendary Japanese pianist Tsuyoshi Yamamoto, Midnight Sugar. This sweet and low session, recorded mere five months before his masterpiece Misty, creates a bewitching mood of late night rambling and soulful yearning. No one in Tee Fujii’s circle of fine players better exemplifed the style and substance of the Three Blind Mice sound and it is evident here in Yamamoto’s first try. Stunning dynamics, wide soundstaging, and idiosyncratic interpretations make Midnight Sugar an enjoyable introduction into the deep world of Japanese jazz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYamamoto and drummer Tetsujiro Obara and bassist Isoo Fukui make musical poetry of three classic standards (“I’m a Fool to Want You”, “The Nearness of You”, and “It Could Happen to You”), while introducing Yamamoto’s own compositional genius with “Sweet Georgia Blues” and the title track, all captured with the kind of supreme fidelity Three Blind Mice would later be heralded for. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.impexrecords.com\/midnight-sugar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eImpex\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VXGz8wmV4RM?si=aUNUV5wGDbyrVw54\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl tracklist:\u003cbr\u003eA1 Midnight Sugar\u003cbr\u003eA2 I'm A Fool To Want You\u003cbr\u003eB1 The Nearness Of You\u003cbr\u003eB2 It Could Happen To You\u003cbr\u003eB3 Sweet Georgia Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Sony Music, Three Blind Mice\u003cbr\u003eSeries: Three Blind Mice\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2025 \/ Original Release: 1974\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Hard Bop, Post Bop, Contemporary Jazz, Japanese Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Jazz \/\/ Japanese Jazz\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Three Blind Mice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46110791958686,"sku":"4547366725063","price":70.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/a_a67963f6-ed8b-4eb5-868a-2bfc9e79aeff.jpg?v=1761461499","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/tsuyoshi-yamamoto-trio-midnight-sugar","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
