}}{{nihongo|Takashi Matsunaga|松永貴志|Matsunaga Takashi|extra= born 1986}}, sometimes known professionally as Takashi, is a Japanese jazz pianist and composer.

Life and career

Matsunaga was born and raised in Kobe.[1] At the age of five he first played a piano and Hammond organ that his father had.[1] His father also took him to jazz clubs.[1] After winning an electric organ competition at the age of ten, Matsunaga took lessons from Tadao Kitano, who also taught Makoto Ozone.[1] Matsunaga played his first concert as a professional when he was 15, appeared on television in 2002, then signed with Toshiba-EMI and released his first album the following year.[1] As an 18-year-old, Matsunaga was promoted by Toshiba-EMI as "the youngest pro jazz pianist in Japan".[1] Storm Zone, his 2004 release and debut album for Blue Note, contained only his original compositions.[2] In 2012, he recorded for the anime Kids on the Slope, which narrates the story of two teenagers playing jazz, one piano the other drums.

Playing style

"Matsunaga has a busy, almost frenetic, bop-based playing style, with dense clusters of notes and a profusion of riffs and melodic ideas."[1]

Composing style

A reviewer for The New York Times commented that Matsunaga composes in "various stylistic idioms, including Latin-tinged numbers [...] gentle ballads [...] and swinging tours de force".[1]
