The Chihiro Yamanaka Trio will perform at Iridium Jazz Club in New York City on March 21, 2012. The dazzling jazz pianist is celebrating the major-label release of her DVD, “Live In New York" (Universal Music) with this return engagement at Iridium, where the DVD was taped in 2011.
Iridium Jazz Club is at 1650 Broadway at 51st St., New York, NY. Sets are at 8 PM and 10 PM. There is a $25 cover charge per set plus a $15 food/drink minimum. Tickets can be purchased in advance on Iridium's website or by calling Iridium at 212-582-2121.
Appearing with Chihiro will be bassist Yoshi Waki and drummer John Davis. The trio will perform music from her current CD, “Forever Begins" (Universal/Decca/EmArcy) and from her upcoming CD, “Reminscence" (Universal/Decca/EmArcy). “Reminiscence" has already been released in Japan on Universal/Verve, and it quickly ascended to the #1 spot on the Japanese jazz charts and won the “Nissan Presents Jazz Japan Award 2011" for “Album Of The Year."
The “Live In New York" DVD gives Chihiro's fans the opportunity to experience not only the exciting music of the trio but also the spectacular visual presentation seen by everyone who has witnessed the fireball of energy and virtuosity on display at a live Chihiro concert appearance.
The Chihiro Yamanaka Trio is also set to appear at the Mary Lou Williams Women In Jazz Festival at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC on May 10. Other upcoming concerts by the trio include March 29 at An die Musik Live in Baltimore, MD and a tour of Italy in April.
In recent months the Chihiro Yamanaka Trio has appeared in a series of tremendously successful concerts at the top jazz venues in Japan, and her European concerts included opening for Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and Marcus Miller's “Tribute to Miles" at the Umbria Jazz Festival in Perugia, Italy.
