I never expected to see Akiko Yano play live, let alone briefly meet her and get an album signed. We were delighted to discover (late, we grabbed the last tickets, I think) the closing night of the London Jazz Festival at The Barbican was happening the day after Radiohead, so stayed in London for it.

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