Shoji Yokouchi Trio - Greensleeves / Impex Records

Impex has always had a special place in their hearts for Shoji Yokouchi’s Greensleeves. Standards, original tunes, and traditional pieces (like the title track), are interpreted in unexpectedly funky,

soulful ways. The master guitarist is given immeasurable support by organist Yuri Tashiro. Her playing is alternately moody and spry, fiery and funky.Impex’s vinyl reissue preserves the original’s

clear, exacting sound (check out the bass on Tashiro’s organ!) while improving surface noise and presentation. This rare gem of Tee Fujii’s repertoire is yet another entertaining listen for Three Blind

Mice fans from their friends at Impex Records!"This is the best audiophile system demonstration LP I have heard in ages, and a must-own." - positive-feedback.com
