“El Tsunami del Son”
Ittetsu Nasuda was born in Tokyo. He began playing piano at the young age of three, under the direction of his mother, herself a professional pianist and teacher. He continued throughout this time and by the time he turned 19, he became keenly interested in playing improvisational jazz music. He spent several years performing with many talented musicians throughout the Tokyo area. In 2011, Ittetsu followed his passion for music halfway around the world to Boston where he studied at Berklee College of Music, with Leo Blanco, Bernardo Hernandez, Joanne Brackeen, Rebecca Cline and Vadim Neselovskyi. Since 2012, Ittetsu has joined many recordings on A2C Productions in Massachusetts. He has also created a number of original songs, beats and soundtracks. In 2015 Ittetsu moved to NYC and he is now an active part of the New York City Latin and jazz music scene, performing regularly at various live venues all over the city. In 2016, Ittetsu joined the traditional Cuban band- Conjunto Guantanamo on piano as its newest member diving in head first with the band’s busy calendar and deep repertoire. Ittetsu is looking forward to his first recording project with the band and has begun recording on CG’s upcoming new release “Moviendo los Caracoles” .
