Yoshiaki Miyanoue

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yoshiaki Miyanoue is a Japanese jazz guitarist. He was born in Tokyo, Japan, in 1953. Like Wes Montgomery, who exercised strong influence on Miyanoue, he plucks the strings with his thumb, not using a pick. He worked with organist Jimmy Smith, Dr. Lonnie Smith, drummer Philly Joe Jones, and bassist Andrew Simpkins among others.
