Full program notes

We will be playing interpretations of Japanese folk music, or "Minyō" (民謡) from various regions of Japan. As we are all coming from jazz backgrounds, we will be improvising through and interpreting this music while still maintaining the thematic and melodic structure of the music.
Our program includes traditional lullabies, or komoriuta, from northern and southern Japan, as well as regional folk melodies and festival songs.
