Terumasa Hino
Meet the artist
A trumpet player who was active internationally as a Japanese jazz musician from an early age. He moved to the United States and continued to perform actively in New York during the fusion period. A firm trumpet tone and strong sustained lines stand out across changing ensembles.
His range extends from free improvisation to music incorporating funk and electric instruments. Even intense passages retain a melodic outline, while ballads give individual notes weight. Work connecting Japan and New York reveals jazz beyond a single national scene. Different recordings show a personal voice interacting with changing sounds and rhythms.
Where to start listening
