Prior to the Japan tour of "The Next Step Band Reunion", Kurt Rosenwinkel, known as the "Emperor of Modern Jazz Guitar", will perform a special stage with up-and-coming jazz musicians active in Japan. The members are popular players who are leading the new generation jazz scene, active in leader projects, various sessions, and bands: Shun Ishiwaka (drums), Mei Inoue (guitar), Shota Watanabe (piano), and Marty Holobec (bass). This will be the first time for Ishiwaka and Inoue to perform together with Kurt in 2016 as Shun Ishiwaka's clean-up trio, eight years ago, and for Watanabe and Holobec, this will be their first time performing together. What will these musicians, who are not limited to jazz but have been active in a variety of fields and have experienced numerous sessions, portray? Expectations are high for a thrilling development.
