Hello Mr.Masuo
This is Yoanna and I represent one of the greatest living Jazz pianist - Adam Makowicz.
For some time already we have been contemplating a possibility of organizing Adam's performace(s) in Japan.Many of our friends - classical piano performers- visit frequently your country;Adam, however,would like to delight Jazz loving audiences with his remarkable Art.
Would you be kind enough and help me with reaching appropriate management office in Japan so I could start organizing Adam's tour.
Your suggestions will be most appreciated; also - I would love to look into possibility of organizing a very special performance in Toronto, where Adam and yourself will share the stage.
I thank you in advance
Sincerely
Yoanna ( Zeman) Makowicz

Hi Kati Masuo,
> I guess the musician-ness runs in the Masuo blood

Yes, maybe it does.
Yoshiaki Masuo's father was a jazz pianist and brother is a guitarist, too.

Yes. There are very few Masuo's in the world.
I'm related to you.
Don't know if he actually reads this, but hello, family!
My dad plays guitar too, I guess the musician-ness runs in the Masuo blood.

My name is Tim Miller and i met masuo in california 26 years ago or more now
and would love to catch up my cell is 408-205-7595 please have him call me

Hello Masuo,
My name is Jeff "Siege" Siegel. I am a drummer, and used to play with multi-instrumentalist Arthur Rhames. Back in the early 1980's at the Jazz Forum in New York City, some Japanese film people did a video of a performance of ours. The video has never surfaced. I once met a man named Takashi who said he was one of those film people. He told me he thought that there had been a copy of the video at the Greene Street Studio in New York at one point, and perhaps that video got damaged in the flood there. Do you know what happened to that video, or know any of the other people involved that I could try and obtain a copy? Pianist John Esposito and I are starting a website devoted to Arthur Rhames and it would be great to have that video be a part of it. I have looked for years for this video unsuccessfully. I greatly appreciate any assistance in this you could give me.
Thanks very much!
Best regards,
Jeff "Siege" Siegel

I grew up hearing Masuo play from cassette tapes back in the 80's which probably gave up to overuse. I never got to listen to to his songs until a few days ago when a local station played one of the song from his Good Morning album. It brought me back good memories. I really love the melody of the songs and his flowing style. I am learning to play the guitar now and it would probably be fulfilling to play one if not most of his songs. sad, that I still do not see anything on the music bars here. I am from the Philippines and i was hoping to get a copy of this CD.

Sali, thank you for linking to this site and letting us know of
your blog article about your recording with Masuo.

Dear Masuo,

Greetings! I wanted to let you know that it was a tremendous honor to meet you earlier this year at the studio. I also wanted to let you know that I've linked up to your site from my blog at http://www.pinkmanhattan.blogspot.com I hope it was OK. Best wishes on your next tour in Japan coming up this May. Fred says "hi". Love to Shirley.

Hello Louie,
"Good Morning" on CD is still in print in Japan.
The amazon.com online store in the US, for example, carries "Good Morning"
as an import item. (See the Yoshiaki Masuo search results.)

For "Song Is You and Me" and "Mellow Focus",
I can't think of any way you can get one, if you live outside of Japan.
It is hard to find used CDs of them.
These are relatively easy to find on used vinyl
in Japan, but maybe not outside.

How can I get old albums by yoshiaki masuo?
The song is you and me/ mellow focus/ good morning. I have been trying to get them but cannot find one.

I have remade an image file of the hand-written music copy, and replaced
the one on the music page. Its file size now is about 83 KB.

I have put up a sheet music image for Small Steps.
Please go to the Music page to view it.
The image file is rather heavy to download (223 KB).
Maybe I'll try making a smaller and clearer-image file later on.

Thanks!
