This is a huge drag, Kiyoshi was an absolutely fantastic bass player and really nice guy, and at 67 WAY too young. He was one of those guys, every time I heard him (and I was lucky to hear him a lot through the years) he always sounded good, New York good, he was so consistent and his baseline consistency level was very high.

It's just terrible news. He was such a great person and player. My heart breaks for his wife Yuka

A huge loss for our community. I met him at Berklee, he and Makoto Ozone were playing all the time and with EVERYBODY!
