Yosuke Yamashita

Virtuoso jazz pianist Yosuke Yamashita settles in for a three-night residency at Pit Inn during Golden Week, with a different lineup promised each night. The Thursday gig is devoted to his New Quartet with saxophonist Yuya Yoneda, bassist Akira Yanagihara and drummer Takumi Ogasawara, while on Friday Yamashita he'll play 'solo & more' with support from Yoneda and percussionist Hiroshi Kumamoto. On Saturday, meanwhile, he's recruiting bassist Benisuke Sakai, drummer Yoshihito Eto and trombonist Shigeharu Mukai for a full-blown jam session.
