Teruo Nakamura

Teruo Nakamura’s “Unicorn” (Three Blind Mice MHJL‑404) is a lithe, bass‑led fusion session where spiritual motifs meet Tokyo studio precision. Airy Fender Rhodes, supple percussion and radiant melodies circle Nakamura’s melodic leadership, yielding a sound both searching and luxurious. Cut by top engineers and pressed to showcase TBM’s famed dynamics, this edition flatters quiet‑to‑loud contrasts and deep, holographic staging. For collectors of Japanese jazz, it’s a benchmark—musical, meticulous and endlessly replayable.
