I am SO excited to travel to Tokyo this month for the second time in two months! Matt Treder (pianist extraordinaire) and I will be performing at the Ginza International Jazz Festivalon November 1st! It is an incredible opportunity for us, and an enormous honor to have been invited to take part. We'll be joined on-stage by three very talented Japanese-based musicians, including renowned saxophonist Ken Ota, bassist Go Shimada, and Hidenobu "Kalta" Otsuki on drums.
We will be the only U.S. headliner act among the 12 featured groups, which includes Chico & The Gypsies (from France; formerly of the Gypsy Kings), Catia (from Brazil), Hiroko Kokubu (from Japan), and more. Check out http://www.ginza.jp/ginzajazz/artist_e.html to read more about the performers, and the festival itself.
Our performance will take place at the Yamano Music Ginza Main Store 7F. Applications for tickets are no longer accepted (the application deadline was the end of September), but those that applied have been entered into a lottery to win tickets--winners will be sent their tickets on October 12th (tomorrow! :)). Good luck to all the applicants! We look forward to seeing you at the show :)
