A Duet with Two Virtuosos
Japan’s only vocalist and flugelhorn player, TOKU reunites with acclaimed jazz guitarist May Inoue for a rare performance at Blue Note Place. Their original duet “Premium”— first born from an impromptu collaboration on radio — captures the artistry and chemistry between the two master musicians. Enjoy a refined, intimate one-night-only experience with the virtuosos.
TOKU is renowned in the jazz scene for bridging vocals and flugelhorn. He made his debut in 2000 with Sony Music through the album Everything She Said. He performed at Blue Note Tokyo for the first time that same year.
May Inoue released the song “First Train” with EMI Music Japan in 2011 and formed his own band, Stereo Champ, in 2017. He has released three albums to date, along with six solo albums.
