Popular Post sutherla Posted February 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2020 BBE has been doing a really great job on the Japanese Jazz beginning with the samplers. They also have the “J Jazz Masterclass Series” that are full albums by musicians found on the sampler, currently there are 4 releases in the series. 1. Tohru Aizawa Quartet - Tachibana 2. Koichi Matsukaze – Earth Mother 3. Takeo Moriyama – East Plants 4. Makoto Terashita meets Harold Land – Topology All of them are incredible IMO and it amazes me that this music has gone ignored for so long outside of Japan. All of the pressings I have on the BBE label are really good. I was lucky enought o spend some time in Japan over the years and had some friends that were really into the small jazz clubs. With regards to the TBM collection, Motohiko Hino “Ryuhyo” is one of the most incredible albums I have ever heard. I picked up the CD based on the cover and the description not having a clue what it would be. The first time I listened to it I was completely blown away, really amazing stuff. I actually found it for sale yesterday for $17.50 new so I picked up a couple of copies for my sons. Mike Rubin, The Computer Audiophile, Crustacean and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment

I actually found it for sale yesterday for $17.50 new so I picked up a couple of copies for my sons. Agreed about “Ryuhyo.” On a couple of his other albums, Terumasa’s long-deceased drummer brother has a few “interesting “ treatments of old rock songs like “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “Angie,” Lady Jane,” “Dazed and Confused,” and “Stairway to Heaven.” The first three are on “Sailing Stone,” which was recorded in NYC and distributed in the US on Gramavision. The last two are on “It’s There,” on a Japanese label called Fun House, a label about which I otherwise know nothing. Motohiko also appears on most of Terumasa’s albums, including “Hogiuta,” which I mentioned above, and behind other important Japanese musicians like Isao Suzuki and Masabumi Kikuchi. Also, I forgot to add that, in addition to the Hino brothers, “Hogiuta” includes some monster bass playing by Cecil McBee, who is prominent in the mix, and percussion by Mtume, always a master of the craft. I hadn’t realized it was recorded in NYC rather than Japan, but I shouldn’t have been surprised because both Hinos were based there in the seventies.

sb6 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Midnight Sugar is a well - known audiophile LP and CD which commanded big $ until a few years back when it was reissued. It contains some of the biggest dynamic swings on piano and great quality. His other discs are quite good too like Misty.

What struck me the most is how well the Japanese players have mastered the vocabulary of John Coltrane, if not the emotion. The technique is at an extremely high level and the players’ ears are pretty big.

Popular Post astrotoy Posted February 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2020 I have never been a big jazz fan, much more into classical music. However, back in 2013-14 when the late Winston Ma of First Impression Music asked me to write a book for him on Decca Records (their classical division) he also introduced me to his catalogue of great CD reissues. Among them were several TBM albums which he remastered and released on his FIM and Golden Strings labels. One album, 'The TBM Sounds!' released in 2011, is a sampler of several of the TBM albums that he had remastered. For me, it was an excellent way to learn about TBM. However, since WInston's death a few years ago, FIM has closed. There is still some stock of their CD's at Acoustic Sounds - where I saw the TBM 'Misty' album on hybrid SACD/CD. There are also albums for sale on Discogs, though some of the prices are sky high. Winston's CD releases are considered by many at or near the pinnacle of CD's. Worthwhile doing some searching. They were never cheap when they were first released and were often the subject of counterfeiters, particularly in Asia. My second encounter with TBM was in 2016 when I bought a very large collection of safety master tapes (15ips 2 track, mostly 1/4" but also 1/2"). Most of the collection was jazz, including many of the greatest albums from the golden age of analogue audio recording. However there are four TBM albums included in the collection. They are 'The Big Four' George Kawaguchi, 'Remember' Martha Miyake, 'North Plain' Eiji Nakayama, and 'Ako's Dream' Isao Suzuki. Not sure whether any of these is included in Chris' big TBM CD collection. Too bad, TBM isn't offering their albums on high quality tape.

Popular Post RobbT Posted February 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2020 An old favorite of mine in TBM-56 Mari Nakamoto III along with Isao Susuki & Kazumi Wantanabe. The first track "Georgia on My Mind" is the best rendition of that song that I have ever heard. The instrument spacing and soundstage, including depth on Mari's voice are fantastic and the guitar solo is epic. Definitely worth a listen! kumakuma and Nikhil 2 Link to comment

Popular Post shinyc Posted March 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2020 After a bit of acrobatic Internet shopping, I got my 40 CD set and they are sounding mighty good. Thanks for pointing to the 40, Chris. This I found to be the most doable approach: https://buyee.jp/ Register as a member then put the following 40 CDs (all or some of it) into your shopping basket (I am sharing my shopping basket). Follow the instruction rest of the way. This service involves a proxy in Japan so once your goods are ready to be shipped (in about 1~2 weeks), you will be asked for your shipping choice/charge. It took me around 3 weeks total. Good luck. Hope this eases the Covid19 induced sanctions. ************************************************************ 山本剛トリオ ミスティ CD Quantity1 item(s) Requested Item Price1,650 yen Item Price1,650 yen Total Amount 1,650 yen (US$15.45) 高柳昌行と新世紀音楽研究所 銀巴里セッション CD Quantity1 item(s) Requested Item Price1,650 yen Item Price1,650 yen Total Amount 1,650 yen (US$15.45) 鈴木勲カルテット+2 オランウータン CD Quantity1 item(s) Requested Item Price1,650 yen Item Price1,650 yen Total Amount 1,650 yen (US$15.45) 土岐英史カルテット トキ CD Quantity1 item(s) Requested Item Price1,650 yen Item Price1,650 yen Total Amount 1,650 yen (US$15.45) 峰厚介五重奏団 峰 CD Quantity1 item(s) Requested Item Price1,650 yen Item Price1,650 yen Total Amount 1,650 yen (US$15.45) 福村博クインテット モーニング・フライト CD Quantity1 item(s) Requested Item Price1,650 yen Item Price1,650 yen Total Amount 1,650 yen (US$15.45) 日野皓正クインテット ライヴ!

Popular Post bernardl Posted June 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2020 Btw, many of these amazing discs were released in different versions. Besides the SACDs I mentioned above, some of them were also released as XRCD24 and the sound quality is really outstanding. I am not sure whether the recent re-releases are based on the XRCD mastering. The are also other totally outstanding Japanese XRCD24, for example on the Master Music label. One that may be the very best I own is this disc by Mario Suzuki (now pretty expensive, a collector's favorite): https://www.amazon.co.jp/Masterpiece-Folklore-Music-Suzuki-2012-01-17/dp/B01K8KOZU2/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&qid=1592447527&refinements=p_32%3AMario+Suzuki&s=music&sr=1-1 When 44.1/16 sounds this good you really wonder why people are worried about 192/24 or DXD. 🙂 Cheers, Bernard AnotherSpin, The Computer Audiophile and 3dsoundshop 2 1 Room: Gik Acoustics room conditioning | Power: Shunyata Omega XC + Shunyata Everest + Shunyata Sigma NR v2 power cables | Source: Mac mini with LPS running Roon core (Raat) | Ethernet: Sonore OpticalModule + Melco S10 + Shunyata Omega Ethernet | Dac/Pre/Amplification: Devialet D1000 Pro Core Infinity | Speakers: Chord Company Sarum T speaker cables + Wilson Benesch Act One Evolution P1 Link to comment
