Profile
Japan's premier gypsy swing jazz trio, attracting attention from around the world.
Formed in 2014, they are a one-of-a-kind trio whose style has been highly acclaimed by various quarters as they perform throughout Japan.
The three strong swinging members are played by Yoshifumi Yamamoto, who produces a melancholy sweet sound amidst his superb and captivating technique, Takeo Tomori, who creates a unique sound that no one can imitate with his powerful yet flexible rhythm, and Hikaru Hasegawa, who is responsible for the simple yet precise and stable foundation of the bass.
The trio's unique arrangements of gypsy jazz tunes as well as familiar jazz and film music will surely make you addicted once you hear them!
This unusual yet somehow old-fashioned Japanese lyrical genre is a strange music that even makes me feel nostalgic.
Seeing is believing, so please give it a listen.
