Piano is his instrument of choice, although he also sings and plays breath powered keyboards such as the melodica and the Andes, a unique soprano instrument invented in Japan. Since moving south from Tokyo four years ago, his memorable experiences of Fukuoka so far include forming the jazz unit Arbeitman and Salaryman, the occasional foray into funk with the band Funky Oka, and annual all-night jam sessions before the Yamakasa festival in Hakata. He runs a monthly event at the Riverside club, the ‘Oishii Jam Session’, for anyone interested in playing jazz in a social setting. There, free samples of real jam are served up alongside delicious jazz licks. Quin is currently preparing a collection of original compositions for his solo show on January 28 at New Combo, and perfecting some favourite love songs for a special appearance at the Fukuoka Now Valentine’s Party, Feb. 14 at Hotel With the Style.
