Pullin from the Stacks - Episode 214

Decided to do a more thematic set this week, dedicated to the incredible Japanese jazz label Three Blind Mice. I don't have a ton of their records but wanted to highlight several I do have, and that might not be as "famous" as some of the other TBM records that have been repressed recently. Hope you dig it! Please subscribe on Apple Pods and leave a rating if you have a moment!

Tracklist: Masaru Imada, T. Takahashi and Tokyo Union, Hideo Ichikawa Trio, Bingo Miki, Isao Suzuki Trio, Isoo Fukui Quartet, Sleepy Matsumoto Quartet, Shoji Yokouchi Quartet

Pullin from the Stacks - Episode 215 (Three Blind Mice Records)

Salute to the legend Donald Byrd, who was born December 9, 1932 and would have been 90 this year. I'm a long way from having or hearing everything in his catalogue, but his records are pretty much all guaranteed brilliance and highly recommended. I do think his work gets slightly melded with and possibly overshadowed by the Mizell brothers later in his career, but Byrd was an amazing orchestrator, producer, song writer and of course musician in his own right. So I tried to keep the Mizell-related tracks to a minimum here and play a selection from throughout his catalogue. Enjoy!
