Yasuhiro Usui
Guitar player, Composer
I started my career in junior high school. Since then, I have been
playing a guitar in diverse music genres. In the middle of 1990s, I
started a unique improvisation style that uses least guitar effectors. I
worked with Elliott Sharp, guitarist and composer, for a recording in New York, 2003, and played with Sharp as a Duo in 2004 and 2005.
Recently I take part in internationally popular Japanese free Jazz
groups; Shibusa Shirazu Orchestra and Satoko Fujii Orchestra. I have been playing with many domestic/overseas musicians including Ned Rothenberg (sax), William Parker (b), Fill Minton (voice), Peter Brotzmann (sax) as well.
