Masato Honda, who continues to lead the fusion world with superb technique and a powerhouse, dazzling performance, returns to Billboard Live again this year. Along with a rock-solid lineup—Jun Kajiwara (guitar), Keiji Matsumoto (keyboard), Ryu Kawamura (bass), and Chisato Kawaguchi (drums)—he delivers a high-octane, driving performance. With his unfailing sharpness and an expressive power that has grown even more mature, the “Hyper Sax Player,” still in high demand from numerous artists, puts on a stunning stage for a blissful moment.
