SUMMARY:Blues Organ Great Akiko Tsugura: Jazzmobile Sessions at the Interchurch Center
DESCRIPTION:AKIKO TSUGURA QUARTET\nAKIKO TSUGURA LEADER\, Organ\nJoe Magnarelli\, Trumpet\nMyron Walden\, Tenor Sax\nByron Landham\, Drums\n\nABOUT AKIKO!\nRaised in Osaka\, Japan\, this talented musician began studying the organ at the age of three\, at the famed Yamaha Music School. After discovering her passion for jazz very early on in her musical journey\, Akiko launched her career immediately after graduating from the Osaka College of Music. \nWhile living and playing in Osaka\, she had many opportunities to perform with world-renowned jazz musicians from the United States. Meeting Grady Tate\, in particular\, was a life-changing event for Akiko. \nAfter landing in the mecca for jazz\, New York City\, it didn’t take long for Akiko to make her mark-It was during these early years that she had the great pleasure of sitting in\, playing gigs\, and eventually recording with jazz greats such as Frank Wess\, Jimmy Cobb\, Grady Tate and other top NY musicians. Her reputation ultimately drew attention of Lou Donaldson as he chose her in 2006 as his quartet’s organist. \n​But it was the meeting of organ legend Dr. Lonnie Smith that proved to have the greatest impact on Akiko’s musical development and career. He became an important mentor to Akiko\, and she considers him her greatest influence. She flourished and continued to be a constant draw on the NY jazz scene. \nAkiko has been a regular in the DOWNBEAT polls since 2008-Her debut album in the US\, “Sweet and Funky”\, was selected as a “Best album of 2007” in DOWNBEAT Magazine. culminating this year with the 65th Annual Critics Poll\, coming in at # 2 in the “Rising Star-Organ” category. Hot House Magazine has just named her ‘Best Organ “in the 2017 Readers Poll. Her albums have constantly placed in the top ten on the National Radio Jazz Chart. \n“Akiko is here to stay!” Dr. Lonnie Smith\n\nCLICK FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT JAZZMOBILE
