Yoshiyuki Taira
The Cool-Headed Bassist With a Jazz Soul
Bass in hand, heart in the groove.
I’m the guy who shows up. Whether it’s directing traffic or locking in a bassline, I see the flow and stay in it. Words are overrated. Actions? Notes? Those stick. I learned that from my dad — or from the silence he left behind, anyway. With BECK, I found something worth holding down. Ryusuke understands. We don’t need to talk much — just play.
What I'm Into: Music Man StingRay, dim rehearsal rooms, steady grooves, Tokyo nights, Ryusuke's silences
