Officially he started taking piano lessons at age three, and by the time he was a teenager he was already playing professionally. Although he plays various keyboards, Kankawa early on became a devotee of the soulful sounds of the B-3 Hammond organ. Having set his course, he decided to study with a master, and he chose perhaps the most celebrated player of the instrument - jazz funk master Jimmy. Bonus tracks on Japanese release: "Tuff Enuff" & "Into Mystic". Joe Lynn Turner sings on "Hey Joe" & "Family" |
