◾️ John Nakayama Trio ◾️
John Nakayama : piano / Kazuyoshi Nakatsukasa : bass / Seiichi Sakuma : drums
Pf. Gohto Nakayama, who has participated as a keyboardist in recording and live support for many artists, launched his project in 2009 to explore the possibilities of music without being bound by genre, using jazz techniques to present his original compositions. In 2014, he released his first album, "JNT," which received high praise from various quarters. In 2016, he released his second album, "Forest of Darkness," and successfully toured Taiwan twice, earning favorable reviews from jazzLife magazine. Since 2019, with Kazuyoshi Nakatsukasa on bass, the group has been creating highly improvisational sounds.
Their powerful touch, beautiful melodies, and dynamic, exhilarating sound are striking. The interplay between piano, drums, and bass is intensely immersive and evolves like a living organism, deeply sharing a sense of atmosphere. Their trio performances are both meticulously crafted and vibrantly energetic, creating a captivating and comfortable listening experience. Nakayama, who proudly cites Bill Evans as a major influence, weaves melodies that, while dark, also convey a sense of liberation and light, embodying a lyrical world.
