Dear friends and listeners.....pianist and Kobe native Misato Senoo started her music studies at the young age of 3. She would later enter and graduate from the Musashino Academia Musicae, where she studied musical intrument theory and piano. During this time she would also study under classical pianist Kyoko Itou.

However, after graduation she would discover the music of legendary pianist Michel Petrucciani. His music influenced her to change directions in style towards Jazz. This would lead her to study under Jazz artist Shimamoto Takeshi.
Since then Senoo has released three albums:
2005 “La Mi-cia” as part of a piano trio
2008 “ROSEBUD” fully original album via JAZZ LAB. RECORDS
And 2009′s “La Vie” available through Disk Union via DIW the GRACE
Currently she is performing live around the Kansai, Tokyo and Nagoya areas of Japan. HERE ....zero

Dear friends and listeners......Born in 1936, Naosuke Miyamoto was already a veteran bassist when he made his debut album as a leader. In 1960 he had joined George Kawaguchi's Big Four Plus One band and played with Sadao Watanabe et al. The lack of his recording was only due to his decision to leave Tokyo and go back to his hometown in Kansai (the Midwestern part of Japan). For this first album he had waited more than 15 years to make, he assembled established musicians about his age and younger musicians with fresh sensibilities. The fiery playing style of the band reflects their influences from the post-bop movements by progressive artists such as John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter....HERE ...zero
