Born in 2003, Japanese multi-instrumentalist Gaku Kano presents his debut album, "Experimental Jazz".

Embracing concepts such as the imperfections of human expression, the warmth of analog gear, memorable melodies, and intricate yet organic rhythms and beats, the album blends smooth harmonies with a touch of spice. Drawing inspiration from genres including Neo Soul and Breakbeats, while always rooted in his enduring love for Jazz, Gaku Kano creates a distinctive sound that bridges multiple musical worlds.

The album features two tracks showcasing one of Japan's most influential guitarists of his generation, Taka Nawashiro.
