Makoto Ozone - Jungle

Biography: I was Born in Kobe, Japan in 1961. and began playing organ at the age of 2 (according to my parents???), and started improvising at the age of 7. Appeared on television with my father, Minoru from 1968-1970.

At the age of 12, I started to play piano because I heard Oscar Peterson and completely fell in love with Oscar’s music. I appeared on a few major jazz festivals in Japan as a pianist of a professional Big band named “TADAO KITANO and Arrow Jazz Orchestra” while attending high school.

In 1980, I entered “Berklee college of Music” in Boston, MA. And was “Jazz Compositions and Arranging” major.
