Isao Suzuki Trio/Quartet - Blow Up

Another record from bass player Isao Suzuki, this one released in 1973 on Three Blind Mice. Suzuki plays bass and cello, Kunihiko Sugano plays piano and fender rhodes, George Otsuka plays drums and a second bass player, Takashi Mizuhashi, is added on four tracks. Aqua Marine is a nice, hypnotic tune with sweet rhodes piano. Blow Up is funkier and sort of hectic.

2. Everything Happens To Me
3. Blow Up
4. Like It Is
5. I Can't Get Started
6. Low Flight

Isao Suzuki Trio - Black Orpheus

Another album by a bassplayer, this was released on the japanese Three Blind Mice label. This one has actually been reissued recently, but I imagine that in some parts of the world it might be tough to to find as anything but an expensive import. However, if you really like it I urge you to buy it.

The session features Isao Suzuki on bass and cello, Donald Bailey on drums and Tsuyoshi Yamamoto on rhodes and piano.

The sound is mostly jazzy with a hint of funkiness on Manha De Carnaval, which is also my favorite track on the album (the rhodes sound especially lovely on that one).

1. Manha De Carnaval
2. Angel Eyes
3. Who Can I Turn To
4. In a Sentimantal Mood
5. Blues
