Sweet sweet jazz piano

I was enjoying the sound of the piano of this SACD so much last night:

I don't know if this is a realistic recording for a piano, but it was very nice sounding and the music is very good too.

The Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Trio have been around for a long time. You might want to checkout two of their other releases that sound excellent as well, "Misty" and "Midnight Sugar".

Well, there's lots of piano trio styles...say Diana Krall vs Bill Evans vs Oscar Peterson vs The Bad Plus :p Too bad those ram samples aren't working for me.

In the Style of Oscar Peterson/Bill Evans.

Sounds nice

It would be even nicer if I could find it used at amoeba here in LA

Somehow I imagine this to be a hard to find group.

You are correct...audiophile type labels....but you might get lucky. Give it a shot !!

Definitely more Oscar Peterson resemblance-Evans is a little more laid back. I got my hands on Tsuyoshi Yamamoto's Midnight Sugar last week and I've been listening to it daily. Makes a strong case for SACD-the sound quality is nothing short of spectacular and I must say this is one of the best piano trios in terms of gelling together I've ever heard. Worth the $27 every penny.
