PWRFL Power's Kazutaka Nomura was born to an architect and a calligrapher in Hokkaido, Japan in 1984. Kaz began studying Classical and Jazz guitar at the age of 13--moving to Seattle at 18 to study musical composition. Shortly after his arrival, the diminutive and charismatic Nomura co-founded the city-conquering, genre-defying free-improv trio Na--who, before their residency-related demise in 2006, self-released over 40 recordings. Can't wait to hear the entire record to get a more accurate sense of things, but until then, there is some media below.audio:
