At the 53rd Grammy Awards held in Los Angeles, B’z guitarist Tak Matsumoto earned the prize for Best Pop Instrumental Album, together with American guitarist Larry Carlton.

Takahiro “Tak” Matsumoto (松本 孝弘),born on March 27, 1961 in Osaka, is a Japanese guitarist, producer, arranger, composer, singer and songwriter.
Tak’s formal education in jazz was minimal, but when he started working as a session musician, and supporting many tours like TM Network, his musicianship was cemented. His exposure to a myriad of styles helped him to meld his own unique blend, incorporating elements of his jazz training, blues, classical, metal, rock, and ska.
