Takayuki Yagi is an experienced and talented pianist who has always consistently pursued the mainstream of jazz. He has created his own style, evolving in various ways with each album. He will release his first solo piano album. This time, it was realized at the suggestion of Mr. Konno of T-Toc Records, and it is an ambitious work with all original compositions. The album contains 11 of his favorite songs prepared for this recording, including 6 newly written songs. The songs are all jazz-inspired, which is his compositional motto, and they are also enjoyable to improvise on. The combination of his hard swinging performance without sweetness and melancholic, soulful tunes keeps the listener interested. The thrill of this album is different from that of his previous solo albums, and the new evolution of his playing is very impressive.

Takayuki Yagi [Pianist]
Born in Kyoto, Takayuki Yagi is a jazz pianist who refined his artistry in the heart of New York City. He immersed himself in the bebop tradition under the mentorship of legends such as Walter Bishop Jr., Ronnie Mathews, Barry Harris, Norman Simmons, and Frank Hewitt. His musical depth further expanded through an Artist-in-Residence program in Japan, where he studied under the esteemed composer Frederick Tillis.  
Yagi’s exceptional talent earned early acclaim when he captured the Grand Prize at the 24th Asakusa Jazz Contest. Since then, he has established an international presence, collaborating and recording with jazz luminaries including Ben Williams, Rodney Green, Jay Anderson, Billy Drummond, Scott Wendholt, and Ralph Bowen. His sophisticated style has consistently resonated on the global stage, leading him to become a two-time finalist in Italy’s prestigious 7virtual Jazz Club Contest (2022, 2024).  
Now based in Tokyo, Yagi leads his own trio, crafting a unique musical voice that masterfully bridges the profound roots of Bebop with a modern, contemporary sensibility.
