Biographie Naoko Sakata
Naoko Sakata
is an award winning jazz/improvisation pianist who currently lives in Sweden.
Naoko is recognised for her fearless and intuitive improvisation style and her heart felt playing has become her personal trademark. Her music reaches from the very depths of calm poetic beauty to intense explosive chaos, where everything comes together as one powerful expression.
Currently she is performing as an improvisation solo act as well as with groups such as Malin Wättring 4 and Thomas Markusson’s "Open”.
Prior to commencing her solo act, Naoko spent her time performing and touring the world with a piano trio under her own name - Naoko Sakata Trio - for almost a decade.
