Review:
Completing a "trilogy" of great records that started with Midnight Sugar and Misty, Girl Talk solidified Tsuyoshi Yamamoto's reputation as Japan's premier jazz pianist. Though he would continue to tour and record for Takeshi "Tee" Fujii more than a decade, Girl Talk became the pinnacle of his career. This trio of classic LPs together are a benchmark in Japanese jazz records in particular and recording engineering in general. As usual, master recordist Yoshihiko Kannari worked with Yamamoto, bassist Akira Daiyoshi and drummer Tetsujiro Onaba at AOI Studios, Tokyo, which featured a tight, nicely baffled room. Kannari's recordings are prized for their immediacy and dynamic expressiveness, both traits exhibited on Girl Talk to startling effect. Like Midnight Sugar and Misty before it, Kannari's work on Girl Talk won him the prestigious Swing Journal Critic Poll "Jazz Disc" Engineering award in 1976.
