Naosuke Miyamoto Sextet: Naosuke Miyamoto (bass) Kunji Shigi (flugelhorn,trumpet) Takashi Furuya (alto sax) Takeshi Goto (soprano sax,tenor sax) Masayoshi Yoneda (piano) Shoji Nakayama (drums) Born in 1936, Naosuke Miyamoto was already a veteran bassist when he made this debut album as a leader. In 1960 he had joined George Kawaguchi's "Big Four Plus One" band and played with Sadao Watanabe et al. The lack of his recording was only due to his decision to leave Tokyo and go back to his home town in Kansai (the Mid-Western part of Japan).
