They usually play music as a band whose members are Hiroco Ponissi (vo), SAITO Taku (gt), TATSUMI Yoshiaki (ba), and OKUYAMA Yuji (dr). This time they perform as a duo of a vocalist and a guitarist.
Hiroco went to New York when she was a high school student, and studied at School of Visual Arts in New York City. And she learned classical vocal music from Alex Yancy and learned jazz from Lance Hayward. After coming back to Japan, she worked as a CG designer in Sony and also acted as Japanese-English simultaneous interpreter at international conferences. After a long blank, she resumed her music career in 2010. Her first CD "How long has this been going on? - Hiroco Ponissi made in Italy -" was released by Jazz-Mobile, an Italian Jazz label, in 2011. She is a singer who sings in various music genres such as baroque opera, Japanese songs, musical songs, pop, jazz, bossa nova, the blues, and rock.
SAITO Taku, who graduated from University of North Texas College of Music, is a guitarist, a composer, and an arranger. In addition to activities as a leader of his band, he supports a lot of artists. He is a valuable guitarist who enjoys the full confidence of many musicians.
