Yuki Futami is an award-winning jazz pianist from Japan whose sensitive touch and warm tone reflect that of his musical idol, the legendary Canadian jazz pianist Oscar Peterson.

 

After winning 1st place in competitions such as the Yokohama Jazz Competition and Asakusa Jazz Contest in Japan with his energetic performances, Futami decided to relocate to New York City in 2013 in order to further his knowledge of jazz.

 

He now lives in Boston as a student of Jerry Bergonzi at the New England Conservatory, refining his musical sense of excitement, agility and hard-hitting swing.
