About Tetsuro Kawashima
Kawashima’s official biography traces piano and trumpet study before a move to saxophone and a professional career begun after university. It distinguishes tenor and soprano saxophone from his flute work and documents an improvising practice extending beyond conventional jazz groups.[1]
His official discography separates quartet albums, the Tokyo Meikyokudo series, duo and cross-cultural projects, solo recordings, and the 2024 chamber-oriented A Walk in Life. The artist’s site links its own video channel for a listening path across those formats.[2][3]
A Walk in Life
The 2024 project places Kawashima’s reeds with string quartet, woodwinds, and percussion in his own compositions and arrangements.[3]
Solo and quartet lines
The discography distinguishes life-work solo recordings from his long sequence of quartet releases.[2]
Multiple reed voices
The biography documents tenor, soprano, flute, clarinet, and bass-clarinet work across jazz and improvisation.[1][3]
