Three Blind Mice Supreme Collection 1500 Series. This CD reissue of a 1977 date by Yoshio Otomo's fine quartet was his second as a leader where he had picked his band from among Japan's finest players. Otomo is an alto player from the Jackie McLean school of tone and the Art Pepper institute for improvisation. In other words, his tone has an edge, but he always phrases and improvises melodically. With Tsuyoshi Yamamoto leading the rhythm section, the other two members, Tamiko Kawabata on bass and Arihide Kurata on drums, had to be ever watchful and vigilant that these proceedings didn't escape them altogether.
