May Inoue is one of the most exciting guitar players to come out of Japan. At just 27 years old, May already has three solo albums to his name and has recorded alongside Kazumi Watanabe, and played live with Kurt Rosenwinkel. He is a graduate of the prestigious Berklee Music College in the US and has earned various accolades in Japan, not least “Album of the Year” in 2011 for his debut EMI record, “First Train”.
For his first UK outing, May will be joined by the incredible Jason Rebello (Jeff Beck, Sting) keys, Jay Phelps (Empirical): trumpet, Kaz Rodriguez (Jessie Ware, Josh Groban): drums, Davide Mantovani (Andy Sheppard, Zoe Rahman): bass.
The programme will feature many of May’s compositions from his various releases straddling a variety of musical styles and influences. With contributions also from Jason Rebello and Kaz Rodriguez, Yokohama Calling are very excited to be facilitating this unique meeting of musical talent and the possibilities it will bring.
This concert is an EFG London Jazz Festival event.
