Three Blind Mice

If you are an audiophile, you must either remember or have heard about the legendary Japanese label Three Blind Mice. Produced by Takeshi Fujii and often recorded by the genious Yoshihiko Kannari, TBM created superb jazz records by Japanese players since the 1970s and became known for its audiophile sound quality. TBM's original recordings have been remastered and reissued in various digital formats, including JVC's XRCDs and FIM's SACDs.

TBM's records captured a very important, vibrant era in the development of Japanese jazz. Stars like Isao Suzuki, Tsuyoshi Yamamoto, George Kawaguchi, Terumasa Hino and Mari Nakamoto recorded their very first albums with the label. They would go on to become legendary jazz musicians, and many of them are still actively playing, but in the 1970s they were young and full of energy. They took risks, stretched and explored, all in the joy of playing that vibrant music called jazz.

Eastwind Import is proud to present TBM recordings in several available formats, including XRCDs and a series of limited edition hybrid SACDs (remastered from the original analog tapes by Sony's own engineers and just released in Japan in November and December, 2006). Look forward to the expansion of our TBM catalog in the future!
