// Selected by Seiichi Nakamura // He had been fascinated by jazz since his childhood, and soon after picking up the saxophone, he decided to become a jazz musician. While studying at the Kunitachi College of Music, he made his debut in 1969 as the founding saxophonist of the Yamashita Yosuke Trio, and pursued free jazz. After leaving the band, he went to the United States in 1978 to study under George Coleman. After returning to Japan, he appeared on the TV show "Tonight is the Best!" featuring Tamori, and through a wide range of jazz genres, saxophone, and clarinet, he has blazed through the passionate, free, diverse, and humane world of Showa-era Japan, and remains a true jazzman to this day. He currently performs jazz in a wide range of styles and with various units, while also working hard to train the next generation of musicians as a professor emeritus at Senzoku Gakuen College of Music. // SELMER Alto Sax Supreme Dark Gold Lacquer // [The joy of playing and something more certain] "Supreme" embodies the new identity of the modern alto saxophone, having undergone 100 years of refinement, design, and manufacturing.
