I never expected to see Akiko Yano play live, let alone briefly meet her and get an album signed. Good fortune to discover that the closing night of the London Jazz Festival at The Barbican was happening the day after Radiohead, so we stayed in London for it. She’s amazing.

Akiko’s joyful solo performance was followed by a fierce quintet made up of tenor sax legend Kosuke Mine (love his First album), expressive pianist Fumio Itabashi, dynamic drummer Takeo Moriyama, genre-hopping bassist Takashi Sugawa, and the alto sax of Miyuki Moriya. Top night.
