Career Overview
About Tetsuro Kawashima
Kawashima’s official biography traces his change from trumpet to saxophone, move to Tokyo at twenty-seven, and work with major Japanese groups. It identifies tenor and soprano saxophones and flute as the instruments at the center of his performing and improvising practice.[1]
His extensive artist-run discography separates quartet, solo, duo, Tokyo Meikyokudo, woodwind-orchestra, and chamber projects. The chronology begins with Eternal Affection in 1999 and reaches the self-composed, self-arranged Water Song and A Walk in Life.[1][2][3]
