"This is a live recording of Kawabata’s acoustic guitar solo in November 2021.

Kawabata hasn’t passed any acoustic guitar playing of folk, classic and jazz ever, he learnt how to play acoustic guitar by himself with his musical background. That’s why his playing is unique.

This is a live recording at the memorial concert of Nishimura Tsuneo aka. Bancho who is a friend and a deep music fan. He came to Kawabata’s all concerts in Hikone and Kyoto, but he couldn’t listen Kawabata’s acoustic guitar solo, because acoustic guitar solo was started in Autumn 2020 when covid19 pandemic has happened, there was no chance to play around there.

Kawabata really wanted to get acoustic guitar solo listened before he passed away. So Kawabata dedicated this solo set to Bancho."

Recorded live at Sakederic Space Shuyukan in Omihachiman on the 3rd of November 2021
