Toshiko Akiyoshi - Lew Tabackin Jazz Quartet

Overview

With Lew Tabackin, flute, tenor saxophone; Paul Gill, bass; Aaron Kimmel, drums

Possibly one of the greatest marriages in jazz history, both musically and romantically, these two have been swinging jazz in various formats, from small groups to big bands, since the sixties.  Akiyoshi, a NEA Jazz Master, is known for challenging and full textured arrangements that sometimes evoke her homeland of Japan., Stylistically, both musicians are giants on their instruments.
