 3/9 (Thu) 地元横浜を離れ、記念すべき都内(浅草)での初ライブでした。久々にTrioでの演奏。ベースの響く音、ジャズはこれが最高!温かくリラックスしたライブになりました。演奏後、お客様やマスターの笑顔を見るのが一番嬉しい時間です。少しでも音楽で心を潤せたかな〜と。
 ジャズバーは六本木、赤坂近辺が多いと思われていますが、浅草もなかなかディープで素晴らしい!考えてみれば元々ショービジネスの中心地なんですよね。最近はまた、外国人観光客の方も徐々に増え、この日はお天気も5月の陽気ということで活気に溢れていました。
 私の心も春を感じてウキウキ。ただ、たまたまWBCの野球(日本の初戦)と重なってしまい、しかも大谷が先発! 試合開始直前には街が静まり返ったような雰囲気、、、だったそうです。

        The Duo concert series ended on 2/15 (Wed) at Vignette, King's Bar, Yokohama, my hometown.
       It was precious time to sing many kinds songs, jazz, pops, Japanese songs, and my and friend original songs.

       I and Mr. Moroto (p) have decided to continue to play as a duo for the future!  Please look forward to listening to our sound of resonance!

         Thank you so much for visiting my website. I really appreciate your interests and supports!
   It was wonderful experiences to play with great musicians through gigs and sessions in 2022.  
            Jazz always leads me somewhere a new place so I can't help following it.
          I'm looking forward to singing jazz in this year, too, to reach the next stage of my life where I've never seen before.  

​                           
           My passion for the music is still full to play and compose new works in 2023. I will walk my way one by one, while I wish world peace...
         Yes, we need more music for peaceful mind.
      See you many places and let me sing to the borderless world for joy. Please join us anytime and anywhere!

P.S.  I lost the best friend, Yaron Elyashiv last summer in 2022. It was huge grief and still hurt me a lot. I will never forget him and his music, taught me many precious things, including jazz. Without Yaron, I couldn't sing jazz now and had survived in New York. Thank you, Yaron. You will be in my heart forever.

Finally, my first album, Walk My Way, was released in January, 2016! 
  Trio: Masami Ishikawa (G), Seth Lewis (Bass), Paul Francis (D)

I am so lucky to play with such a great trio. In fact, their sound is truly amazing. Masami arranged a couple of my songs. Paul is usually playing with Lady Gaga. His drum and percussion brought such liveliness. Seth's deep and grounded bass sound tied it all together.


Most of them, nine songs are my originals, including two Japanese songs. 
​

I will sing and share these music in many venues and hope to have wonderful moments with many people.
