Japanese jazz legend Tsuyoshi Yamamoto's 2023 album, A Shade Of Blue, undoubtedly refects his love of the piano trio - a format pioneered in the 1940s by Nat King Cole and further expanded in the '50s by innovators like Oscar Peterson, Ahmad Jamal, and Bill Evans

Yamamoto's highly experienced trio - which has a combined age of 215 years - features bassist Hiroshi Kagawa and drummer Toshio Osumi. A Shade Of Blue reveals the three musicians' incredible musical chemistry; listening to the ten tracks they've recorded together, it's as if they breathe, think, and feel as one person - such is the musical empathy between them.

Previously only available in audio format, this full-length performance was beautifully captured in 4K resolution and is now available from Evo Sound in two different formats - 4K Ultra HD Blu- ray (Dolby Atmos/ Auro-3D/ Stereo) and Blu- ray (Dolby Atmos/Stereo) with an MQA-CD included with the latter. 

Highlighting its exceptional sonic quality, the album's acclaimed Dolby Atmos mix was recently ranked #2 in The Absolute Sound's 50 Best-Sounding Immersive Mixes in the jazz category.
