Tallk Talk

Completing a “trilogy” of great records that started with "Midnight Sugar" and "Misty", "Girl Talk" solidified Tsuyoshi Yamamoto’s reputation as Japan’s premier Jazz pianist. As usual, Yamamoto, bassist Akira Daiyoshi and drummer Tetsujiro Onaba worked with master recordist Yoshihiko Kannari at AOI Studios, Tokyo. Kannari’s recordings are prized for their immediacy and dynamic expressiveness, both traits exhibited here to startling effect.

Three Blind Mice Blu-spec CD reissue series. Limited paper sleeve edition. Girl Talk was Tsuyoshi Yamamoto's sixth leader album released by the Three Blind Mice label in a short span of two years. With a huge hit of Midnight Sugar, the young pianist –who was 28 at the time of recording – had become one of the most popular jazz pianists in Japan. With bluesy and soulful style influenced by Red Garland and Wynton Kelly, Yamamoto and his trio tackled well-known jazz standards and a popular movie tune ("The Way We Were"). One of the highlights is "Take the 'A' Train" which begins with a free style introduction and moves into a high-speed, high-spirited swing.
