Ohashi Trio

OHASHI TRIO

Ohashi Trio (大橋トリオ) is a project of multi-instrumentalist and composer  Ohashi Yoshinori. The music is a laid-back blend of acoustic pop and jazz with an occasional touch of funk, creating a mellow early-70s sonic vibe accompanied by a Victorian visual aesthetic (courtesy of his ever present top hat and jacket).  I came across this artist via a record store listening booth and immediately snapped up the albums This is Music and A Bird. He has since released another album (I Got Rhythm?) and an album of covers (Fake Book).

Half of his songs are in English and half are in Japanese (with my favourite being the English We’re Waiting); the singles and their accompanying videos, however, usually feature the Japanese songs.
