Yosuke Yamashita Trio - Frozen Days

Review by Matt Sirois

The Yosuke Yamashita Trio's album Frozen Days is a captivating and innovative work of art that showcases the trio's exceptional musicianship and creativity. The album features eight tracks, each with its own unique style and flavor. From the energetic and frenetic "Blues for David" to the hauntingly beautiful "Frozen Days," the trio demonstrates their mastery of various musical genres and their ability to seamlessly blend them together.

The album's standout track is undoubtedly "Bolivar Blues," a stunning rendition of Thelonious Monk's classic tune. Yamashita's piano playing is virtuosic and soulful, while the rhythm section of bassist Akira Sakata and drummer Takeo Moriyama provides a solid foundation for the improvisations and solos.
