Tak Arikushi plays hot swing jazz with a Japanese twist: he fuses the red-hot swing rhythms of Django Reinhardt and rhapsodic Japanese melodies both traditional and contemporary. Inventive arrangements with the acoustic string instrumentation are filled with virtuosic displays and melodic meditations to create a sound that will have you tapping your toe and simultaneously contemplating zen. When not leading his own projects, his unique expertise in the “Hot Club” style leads him to collaborations far and wide within the Canadian scene: performing with Juno-nominated acts like Annabelle Chvostek and Denielle Bassels, soundtrack recording for best-selling video game Cuphead: Delicious Last Course, and even performing for Canadian rock-icon Geddy Lee’s family event.
