Koto Jazz

Koto jazz is variations of traditional Japanese koto music and melodies with an infusion of western rhythm and jazz. These include Sakura, Tori No Yo Ni, Aki No Koto No Ha, Haru No Umi, Rokudan, Midare, and a score of others. I take these musical pieces and play them on the piano, vary the sound and tone with western influences of jazz, rhythm and beat. I also created my own Koto Jazz pieces, which ranges in sound and style from chaos jazz and progressive electronic to new age jazz.
