Tsuyoshi Yamamoto wander full trio - wander

Review by Mindy Pavone

The album "Wander" by Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Wander Full Trio is a delightful and soulful collection of jazz standards and original compositions. The trio comprises of Tsuyoshi Yamamoto on piano, Akira Daiyoshi on bass, and Toshio Osumi on drums. The album features 10 tracks that showcase the trio's exceptional musicianship and their ability to create a cohesive and expressive sound.

The album opens with the title track "Wander," a beautiful and contemplative composition that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The trio's interplay is evident here, with each member contributing to the overall sound. The second track, "Honeysuckle Rose," is a lively and swinging rendition of the classic jazz standard. Yamamoto's piano playing is particularly impressive here, with his nimble fingers dancing across the keys.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Blues for Lenny," a bluesy and soulful tribute to jazz legend Lenny Breau, and "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You," a tender and romantic ballad that showcases Yamamoto's sensitive touch on the piano.

Summary by Mindy Pavone

"Wander" is a fantastic album that will please fans of jazz and anyone who appreciates exceptional musicianship. The trio's chemistry is evident throughout, and their passion for the music is infectious. Highly recommended!
