About Mitsuaki Furuno
Jazz Spot DOLPHY traces Furuno from Tokyo College of Music through early professional groups and the formation of his own Expression ensemble. It separates those leader projects from long-running trio, quartet, and orchestral work.[1]
The venue biography dates the formation of Full Notes to 2000 and its first leader album to 2001, with Tetsuro Kawashima and Masahiko Osaka. DOLPHY and Our Delight performance archives preserve Furuno in quartet and trio settings.[1][2][3]
