WVC feat Isao Miyoshi & Grzegorz Karnas Formula

Isao Miyoshi was born in 1960 and he developed an interest in jazz after starting out with the guitar in high school. After forming his own guitar trio in 1992, Isao and his bandmates performed actively until a first album, “Sankichizm” was released in 1995. The album garnered favourable and supportive responses from their audience who appreciated the jazz guitar trio’s musical concept.

Their international tours brought Isao to various parts of the world including participating in the Jazz Guitar Summit Concert held at Kennedy Center, Washington D.C, USA in 2000. To date, Isao has explored diverse genres over the years and is now part of an ongoing collaboration with Malaysian jazz pianist, Tay Cher Siang and ensemble, WVC.
