HARUKI TAKANO / 高野東来

・ Born in Shizuoka, Japan in 1976. Saxophonist, composer, and arranger. Studied classic / jazz saxophone and music theory under Naruyoshi Kikuchi, Bungo Nagatani, and Sumino Harashina. My first appearance on stage was in 1996 as a player of the funk unit “ELECTRIC SABOO”. Around the same time, I started composing music with parallel usage of acoustic and electronic instruments. In addition, I began performing with many artists in events which I organized. After jamming with several bands and joining recordings, I launched the jam band “Lore and Dower” in 2006. On top of this, I started the jazz combo “throb” in 2007. I am constantly in pursuit of unique activities such as using wind and string instruments with new approaches. ・ http://harukitakano.seesaa.net
