| | Release Date: | | 02/14/2012 | | Description: | | Hammond B-3 player from Osaka, Japan and now a resident in Harlem, New York, Akiko Tsuruga has captured the hearts and minds of both American and Japanese jazz fans. She is often heard in Big Apple and other American cities with her own band as wellas as the regular member of the Lou Donaldson Quartet led by the legendary alto saxophonist.
Sakura is her latest, self-released CD, following St. Louis Blues and NYC Serenade from the Japanese label MOJO Records.
She leads a fabulous quartet with Jerry Weldon on tenor, Bob DeVos on guitar and Rudy Petschauer on drums through an attractive program of originals and standards. Wonderful trumpeter Joe Magnarelli makes apperance on three tracks. In addition to two Japanese songs ("Sukiyaki" and "Sakura"), Tsuruga asserts her identity through excellent original compositions that are firmly rooted in the jazz organ tradition in the US.
Another wonderful CD by a talented organist: Every tune is filled with groove, swing and joy! Recommended!
Recorded at Showplace Studios, Dover, NJ on April 19 and 20, 2011.
