Well, here we are in the week leading up to Christmas. It’s been a heck of a weird and challenging year. I didn’t get to have an official Christmas concert this year, so here is the one from 2018. We did a full live recording of the event. If you haven’t heard it yet, here are some links for you.
You can listen to it here on Apple Itunes:

I hope that you will all have a lovely, calm and safe holiday this year!
The Business of Love
My war torn heart is closed for business,
I only know how to need you,
And how to make you need me too.
So I go around and around,
Looking for my perfect person,
And it’s never you,
Cause it can’t be true.
For if it were true,
I’d have to admit the war is over,
That I lost, and there’s no more battles.
I’d have to do the one thing
That I swore I’d never do.
I’d have to open up shop,
And surrender to love.
On November 23rd I’ll be singing Classical at the Kamata International Artist event, between 1:30 and 3:30 pm. Exact time coming soon.

I had the honour of performing with the amazing pianist, composer Katsutoshi Yamaguchi and talented cellist Ryo Kubota last year. We captured the event and now we are releasing a new CD! It’s a little early for Christmas music, but I hope you will enjoy it.

Hi Everyone,
This summer my parents were visiting Japan and I had the immense pleasure of having them as special guests at my Jazz Live. I will never forget it.
Here is a little bit of that show.
Enjoy!
Last July we were invited to play at Club Verit in Roppongi, Tokyo. The talented hosts of 350 Showcase shot live footage for us. Please enjoy this version of Cry Havoc, Hymn to the Fallen medley.
昨年7月、東京・六本木のClub Veritで演奏しました。ライブ映像を撮って、このビデオを作成してくれた350 Showcaseのスタッフに感謝します。このバージョンのCry Havoc、Hymn to the Fallen medleyをお楽しみください。
