Biography

Early life and career

Masato Honda started playing the saxophone in the 3rd grade of elementary school under the influence of his father who was a music teacher. He went to Kunitachi College of Music, where he studied classical saxophone until he won the 14th Yamano Big Band Jazz Contest in 1983. Afterwards, he turned his focus to jazz and fusion styles. In 1985, he graduated from Kunitachi College of Music at the top of his class and joined Nobuo Hara's Sharps and Flats. Afterwards, he worked as a session musician, and formed the group WITNESS with Masaharu Ishikawa, and Jun Kajiwara. ^[2]

T-Square

The 1990 live T-Square Featuring the Grand Prix theme was Honda's first time working with T-Square as a session musician. The then-current saxophonist Takeshi Itoh stepped down from the group to pursue a solo career. He recorded T-Square Live - "Natural," and T-Square Live - Farewell & Welcome, with Farewell & Welcome being his official send off from the group, and welcome to Masato Honda. Prior to this, Honda recorded his first album, New-S with T-Square.^[3]
