Researched musician profile
About Tetsuro Aratama
Aratama’s official biography traces an early interest in keyboards and strings, a switch to double bass at nineteen, and professional work after returning from the United States. It also documents overseas performances and his teaching role at Osaka University of Arts.[1]
The artist’s discography separates his original albums REZA and RETRO MODERN from a broad range of vocal, jazz, bossa nova, and collaborative recording credits. Jazz On Top and Osaka Jazz Lives provide a direct bridge from that catalog to his continuing Kansai performance work.[2][3]

Aratama’s biography identifies both titles as albums devoted to his original compositions.[1]
Osaka arts education

Kansai ensemble work
