About this album
Black Orpheus is a lyrical, finely shaped set from the Isao Suzuki Trio, balancing modal jazz subtlety with soul-jazz warmth. Issued in 1976, the album draws its title from the bossa nova standard “Manha De Carnaval” while moving through reflective readings of “Angel Eyes”, “Who Can I Turn To?” and “In A Sentimental Mood” before opening out into bluesier territory. Suzuki’s trio setting keeps the focus on interplay, tone and space rather than display, giving the performances a poised, intimate character. It stands as a strong example of Japanese jazz’s international reach in the 1970s.
