This episode of Japanese Jazz Week we explore the catalog of pianist Masabumi Kikuchi. Masabumi was born in Tokyo in 1939, and lived his early life in World War II and post-war Japan. He studied music at the Tokyo Art College High School, and worked with musicians such as Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis, Mal Waldron & Joe Henderson.
