Terumasa Hino
Terumasa Hino (日野皓正, Hino Terumasa, born October 25, 1942 in Tokyo) is a Japanese jazz trumpeter. Currently based in New York, Hino is widely acknowledged as one of Japan's finest jazz musicians, having gained renown in his home country as well as Europe and the United States. His instruments include the trumpet and flügelhorn.
Hino's exposure to music began at a young age, with his father, a step dancer and trumpeter, teaching him tap dancing when he was 4 years old. He soon began performing with the trumpet when he was 9 years old. In 1955, Hino began his career as a professional jazz musician; his music being inspired by Miles Davis, Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard. In 1965, after working with several noted jazz artists, he joined Hideo Shiraki's Quintent, with whom he stayed till 1969, leaving to lead his own band full-time, which he had started in 1964. In 1969, Hino released the album Hi-Nology, released to critical acclaim and success, and soon after performed in several jazz festivals and clubs worldwide, such as the Berliner Jazztage in 1971 and Munich Jazzclub in 1973, and working with Masabumi Kikuchi in 1974, before settling in New York in 1975.
Upon settling in New York, Hino worked with numerous artists in the following years, including Joachim Kuhn, Gil Evans, Jackie McLean, Ken McIntyre, Dave Liebman, Hal Galper, Carlos Garnett, Sam Jones and Elvin Jones, as well as leading his own group, which is credited by the jazz guitarist John Scofield for him turning from fusion to jazz. Beginning from the 1980s, Hino spent more time in Japan and helped incorporate several elements such as avant garde and fusion into his music. Since then, he has toured several countries and regions, including Europe in the 1990s. In 1996, he performed again with Masabumi Kikuchi, also performing the session with noted saxophonist Greg Osby. Read more on Last.fm.
