"Sample" Titled by Sahib a.k.a. YAMA Music and Arranged by HARUKI TAKANO Saxophone, Piano, Percussion and Programming : HARUKI TAKANO Recorded and Mixed at 301 Studio -2006/2009-
Born in Shizuoka, Japan in 1976. Saxophonist, composer, and arranger. Studied classic / jazz saxophone and music theory under Naruyoshi Kikuchi, Bungo Nagatani, and Sumino Harashina. My first appearance on stage was in 1996 as a player of the funk unit “ELECTRIC SABOO”. Around the same time, I started composing music with parallel usage of acoustic and electronic instruments. In addition, I began performing with many artists in events which I organized. After jamming with several bands and joining recordings, I launched the jam band “Lore and Dower” in 2006. On top of this, I started the jazz combo “throb” in 2007. I am constantly in pursuit of unique activities such as using wind and string instruments with new approaches.
Personal lessons are available for saxophone and music theory. Don’t worry if you have never touched an instrument nor cannot read a music chart! I will provide courteous and enjoyable lessons to you. The lesson will be done at Kokubunji, Tokyo. And the cost is from 4,000 JPY per one class (60 min).
