Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on October 19, 1939)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Masabumi Kikuchi—jazz maestro extraordinaire, whose musical range is wider than a grand piano and more unpredictable than jazz improv itself! From post-bop brilliance to avant-garde classical adventures, fusion fireworks, solo synthesizer odysseys, and digital dub delights—you've mastered them all with style that leaves us breathless (and slightly dizzy).

Your fearless creativity continues inspiring generations; each note you play feels like discovering new galaxies. May your birthday be filled with laughter as spontaneous as your solos—and cake slices bigger than your breathtaking discography. Here's celebrating another year of timeless grooves from our favorite jazz wizard!
