Kaoru Abe was a Japanese jazz pianist, guitarist and saxophonist. Kaoru Abe was a free jazz saxophonist, who was nearly unknown outside of Japan, and who generally played solo.

Shortly before his death the quartet album 'Alda's Call' was recorded together with Toshinoro Kondo, Derek Bailey and Motoharu Yoshizawa. He died of a drug overdose; his death was quickly romanticized in the Japanese jazz underground.
