Masaru Imada Trio

Masaru Imada Trio’s “Green Caterpillar” (Three Blind Mice MHJL‑418) is a Japanese jazz classic: electric piano lines ripple like water, the rhythm section locks with supple grace, and modal themes unfold with lyrical patience. TBM’s famed engineering captures air and attack, making cymbals shimmer and bass bloom. This definitive vinyl cut lets the trio’s interplay radiate—elegant, energizing and endlessly replayable. For audiophiles and spiritual‑jazz seekers alike, it’s a touchstone that bridges refined technique and soulful feeling.
