RIP Toshinori Kondo Uli Balß/JARO Records

“We are very sad to hear that Kondo passed away“ . Our company has worked with him on several Cds releases in Europe with his band IMA and later with a trio . I still remember when I met him first time at Amsterdam central station to speak about our cooperation. He was an impressive personality and we keep him in memory as well for all his artist works.

近藤の訃報に接し悲嘆に暮れています。当社ではヨーロッパの市場向けに彼のIMAバンドとトリオのCDをリリースした実績があります。アムステルダムの中央駅で初めて彼と会い、協力を約し会ったことを今でも鮮明に覚えております。彼は強烈な個性を持っており、彼の人間性と作品は我々の記憶から消えることはないでしょう。
