Since his stunning debut in 1974 with the world-famous audiophile recordings for the Three Blind Mice label, Japanese pianist Tsuyoshi Yamamoto has built a career that now spans four decades. His 2013 trio album What a Wonderful World follows his previous release Gentle Blues, his first recording for Venus Records in 14 years.

In fact, these 12 tracks were recorded on the day after 10 tracks on Gentle Blues were recorded. It is remarkable that Yamamoto and his trio recorded enough material for two releases in two consecutive days, but then again, he is a veteran pianist who doesn't like to repeat himself and prefers to record everything in a single take.

Tsuyoshi Yamamoto - piano, Rhodes
