Yamashita studied piano as a child and has played professionally since the age of 17. He attended Kunitachi College of Music in Tokyo from 1962-1967 and played for a time with saxophonist Sadao Watanabe.

Beginning in the '70s, his trio toured widely and played many major European events, including the Berlin and Montreux jazz festivals.
