Picked up from Short bio @ Borneo Jazz 2011 @ Malaysia
"Yuichiro Tokuda is an emerging star in the Japanese music scene.
After studying at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston,

from the Chiba-City Government, the first time ever for a jazz artist.

Last year he performed in Japan’s most prestigious jazz festival “Yokohama Jazz Promenade”

PRESS REVIEW / About Yuichiro Tokuda
The perfect blend of jazz fused with rock styles makes for truly the most appealing cross-genre grooving music.
You might be wondering why we would feature him here….
Well, because his music is AMAZING. Open your ears and your mind and take a listen to any one of his songs.
