Japanese guitar phenom Kotaro Oshio made an
oustanding debut at the prestigious 2002 Montreux Jazz Festival. Not only
did he amaze the audience with his solo performance, but he was invited to
the jam session with B.B. King in the main hall where everyone was talking
about "that incredible Japanese guitarist"!
On STARTING POINT, his U.S. recording debut, Oshio boldly experiments with open tunings and tapping, revealing a vivid style and soulful intensity on both his original compositions and covers. Listening to his music for the first time, one would think there are a number of different musicians performing together in a room - but, it's just 34-year-old Oshio alone on a single acoustic guitar. Oshio artfully infuses his inventive techniques of open tuning and tapping into the emotional core of each of the songs on STARTING POINT - rather than overpowering, Oshio's astonishing technique enhances his lyrical interpretations. From the whimsical to the bittersweet, Oshio brings science and poetry into perfect harmony. |
