himself beginning with rock and then moved on to the blues. At the age
of 24 he went overseas to the United States of America. He made the
city of Berkeley in the San Francisco Bay Area his home and base for
his activities as a professional guitarist and instructor. Moving from
acoustic blues to jazz, he created his own unique finger picking style
with influences from Wes Montgomery and Kenny Burrell. Using A=432 Hz
tuning, he seeks that profound and soothing sound that is the
allurement of jazz guitar. Thanks to his long residence in America,
although Japanese, he understands and expresses the philosophy of true
American jazz. He released his newest CD "The Artistry Of Hideo Date" in 2016. Check out
