About Tadataka Unno

Born in 1980 in Tokyo, Japan to music-fan parents, Tadataka Unno grew up listening to many kinds of music. He began playing the piano at age 4. At age 9 he started to play jazz. He attended Tokyo University for Music and Fine Arts, where he studied music composition.

After spending the first 10 years of his career in Japan, in 2008 he moved to the birthplace of jazz, the United States, and started from scratch.

He has been a member of the Jimmy Cobb Trio, Roy Hargrove Quintet (sadly he was the last pianist for the late great Roy Hargrove for 2016-2018), Winard Harper and Jeli Posse, Clifton Anderson Quartet and many more.

He is considered one of the most gifted jazz musicians to hail from Japan, and his technique, creativity, balanced sense and beautiful tone continue to mesmerize audiences. Towards the end of his life the legendary Hank Jones mentored Unno, having the highest trust in his talents. Unno looked up to him not just as a mentor in music, but also as a mentor in life.
