The progressive jazz rock band "NOA" was formed in January 1987 as a trio consisting of Hirofumi Mitoma (guitar), Takao Ozeki (bass), and Ichiro Takesako (drums).
Their sound was heavily influenced by the solo work of Allan Holdsworth and Bill Bruford, and their original album "Tri-Logic" (pronounced "try-logic"), released on vinyl at the time, was featured in the self-released albums section of the May 1987 issue of the monthly magazine "Player."
After the addition of Hisashi Iijima (keyboards) in 1992, the band's musical style gradually shifted, and they began to include symphonic rock compositions.
Following Iijima's sudden death in October 2007, the band ceased public performances after a memorial concert in April 2008. However, they resumed live performances on August 13, 2016, with a joint concert with the progressive jazz rock band "QUI" at Hey Joe in Yokohama.
With the addition of a keyboardist, their current sound has naturally changed significantly since their formation as a trio, and now appeals to general music fans as well as progressive rock fans.
Progressive Jazz Rock Band “NOA” was formed on January 1987 by Ichiro John Paul Takesako, who is at this moment still remaining as its member, drums/percussion and acting manager, by following its predecessor “Ichiro Takesako Group” with Hirofumi Mitoma on Guitar, Takao Ozeki on Bass.
Influenced by Allan Holdsworth, Bill Bruford and other so-called Jazz Rock sound, they produced 1st studio recording album “Tri-Logic” on May 1987, which reviewed by May 1987 issue of “Player”, one of the largest published music magazine at that moment, as “establishing very unique position among the other independent rock music”.
