Featuring Ben Williams & Nate Smith Japan Tour
Takeshi Obayashi "TBN" Trio
Overview
Dream collaboration trio “TBN” featuring some of the world’s most sought-after artists. To celebrate the release of their debut album, a Japan tour has been announced! They became the first Japanese winner at the Jacksonville Jazz Piano Competition in the United States. Takeshi Obayashi, whose work spans borders of nation and genre with collaborations with Jose James and Takuya Kuroda and who serves as MISIA’s bandleader. A Grammy winner with the Pat Metheny Unity Group. The formidable bassist Ben Williams, known for collaborations with Robert Glasper, Kamasi Washington, and Sadao Watanabe. The powerhouse drummer Nate Smith, renowned for contributing songs to Michael Jackson and for a string of luxury collaborations—from Paul Simon to Norah Jones—and who has earned two Grammy nominations for his own project “KINFOLK.” Three artists leading the frontline of the music scene gather in Japan for this precious moment. The exhilaration from the soulful, heart-stirring grooves developed on travels around the world will evoke the joy of living in the modern era.
