Yusei Takahashi

Yusei Takahashi started playing the electronic organ at the age of 5, and was introduced to Bill Evans when he was in junior high school and became interested in jazz. He trained in a workshop run by Terumasa Hino during his junior high school days, and was soon called up as a top-notch jazzman, appearing on stage at night at Shinjuku Pit-inn in his second year of high school. After that, he rapidly rose to prominence and was appointed as a regular member of the Terumasa Hino Band in his mid-twenties. Currently, in addition to the music unit "Himitsu Kichi" that he presides over, he is active mainly in "Setagaya Trio", "Mitsudomoe", and "m°fe", as well as supporting STUTS, YUKI, Tabito Nanao, Koki Okamoto, and others. He is active in a wide variety of fields, not just jazz. Recently, his duo album "NŪ" (2022) with Sadanori Nakamure, which he produced himself and has an age difference of 60 years, has become a hot topic.
