George Otsuka's third album for Three Blind Mice, featuring the vivid sounds of Fumio Karashima's electric piano and synthesizer. The album's interpretation of John Coltrane's “Naima” continues to shine as a definitive rendition, even in the 21st century.
The quintet is Otsuka on drums, Karashima on piano, electric piano and synthesizer, Shozo Sasaki on tenor and soprano saxophone, Mitsuaki Furuno on bass and Norio Ohno on percussion. Recorded on February 11, 1976 by Yoshihiko Kannari and produced by Takeshi Fujii: two long pieces on each side, Physical Structure and Little Island, then Mustard Pot and Naima.
Official Three Blind Mice reissue by Sony Music Japan, 180g vinyl pressed and printed in Japan. Remastered by Isao Kikuchi and cut by Katsutoshi Kitamura at Mixers Lab; the original release is reproduced with obi and insert. Originally released in 1976 (TBM-62).
