I’ve added a couple of more dates to the JAPAN TOUR 2015. I’ll be playing in Yamagata on June 2 at one of the smallest, yet hippest jazz clubs in Japan, Jazz Octet with Koichi Yabori. Here are some links to the venues as well as my musical collaborators: Yusuke Kono and Koichi Yabori. If you’re in Japan, I hope to see you there!
