Instrumental jazz phenomenon Ai Kuwabara Trio Project makes their American debut. Led by 22-year-old piano prodigy Ai Kuwabara, this band has stolen the attention of the entire jazz community in Japan.
Free, but an RSVP is required.
The band’s music is urban contemporary jazz with a strong, experimental feel and a flavor of funk. The band shows a regard for a wide-range of musical styles, featuring elements of progressive rock and even pop. After only two albums and two years, the group’s originality and fresh sound earned them a spot at the huge Tokyo Jazz Festival 2013, headlined this year by Tony Bennett himself. Japan Times music critic Sean Smith named their second album The Sixth Sense one of his albums of the year.
