Tsuyoshi Yamamoto (山本剛 Yamamoto Tsuyoshi, born 23 March 1948) is a Japanese jazz pianist and composer.
Yamamoto was largely self-taught as a pianist, although he did have piano lessons as a child.[1] He attended Nihon University.[1] As a student there, he played professionally, first as an accompanist to pop singer Micky Curtis; they toured Europe in 1967.[1] In 1974, he became house pianist at Misty, a Tokyo jazz club.[1] He also made his recording debut as leader that year.[1] He played major international festivals in the late 1970s.[1] He also "lived in New York for a year, when he performed with Dizzy Gillespie, Carmen McRae, Sam Jones, Billy Higgins, Elvin Jones, and Sonny Stitt, among others."[1]
