    Yoshiaki Masuo

    After the second period with Sonny Rollins' group in the mid 80s, Masuo acquired his own studio in Soho in NYC, and there he began experimenting with electronic instruments to create sound all by himself. This took shape as an album titled "Masuo," on which he not only played but also did the roles of composer, arranger, engineer and mixer. This was released in May, 1989. A couple of years before this release, his owning a studio happened to make him get involved as a producer of recordings for JazzCity (and later JazzCity Spirit) for a Japanese record company. He produced dozens of albums over the next ten years. As he got deeply into production, his career as a musician was virtually put on hold. He struggled to get back to playing, and finally made a come back as a musician, with his album "Are You Happy Now. This album was released initially in Japan in December 1998, and then worldwide in November 1999 by Sunnyside. Now Masuo is back in full gear as a musician as well as a producer.
