Yoko Noge's Jazz Me Blues

Yoko Noge is equal parts inventive band leader/singer/pianist. A witty entertainer who can belt out a boogie, Yoko also explores the commonalities between African-rooted music and the music of Japan in traditional and original compositions.

"She offers a fascinating synthesis of cunning jazz improvisation, bona fide blues exhortation and the cultural rituals of her Japanese origins.

Crying out at the highest register of her range or murmuring softly down below, her vocals defy categorization. And her pianism, by turns thunderous and insinuating, jazzy and neo-classical, provides evocative accompaniment."

- Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune
