Yoshitaka “Z2” Tsuji

NOLA by way of Osaka, Japan

“Tsuji picked up piano from a young age but only started taking it seriously in adulthood. He performed across Asia and Europe before heading to North America, where he has played with Kermit Ruffins and/or the BBQ Swingers since 2012. He is now a regular guest of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, French Quarter Fest, and other NOLA staples, either with one of these outfits or his own combo.”
