About Kaoru Azuma

Kaoru Azuma performed jazz vocal in her hometown of Osaka, Japan. But she realized that to get to the heart of the music, to understand the culture in which it was born and to master the nuances of the language, she had to continue her studies in New York City, the capital of jazz. In 2003, Kaoru enrolled in the jazz studies program at the City College of New York (CUNY), where she became immersed in the study of jazz theory, history, arranging, English diction, improvisation and vocal technique. The melting pot of New York City changed her profoundly; according to Kaoru "it opened my mind and let me know who I am." She discovered herself and had a story to tell through her music. After receiving her BFA degree from City College, Kaoru began performing in clubs around New York, but the needs of her family have drawn her back to Osaka. The CD, "Footprints in New York," is her dedication and farewell to the city that taught her so much about American jazz. Her selections are primarily compositions associated with the great jazz masters she admires so much. Currentlly, she's been working as a teacher in schools and performing in Japan. Her CD release gig at Cornelia Street Cafe in New York was held and succeeded on Feb. 2009. Her CD was reviewed and recommended as Hot New CD for Summer 2009 on one of the famous jazz magazine in New York, Jazz Improv Magazine on June 2009. She has been known as a remarkable creative jazz vocalist. ..

Petronius	Nov 23 2009 8:11 AM Kaoruさん、誕生日おめでとうございます。
Petronius	Oct 31 2009 3:10 AM いつもブログ拝見しています。 Lars Janssonさんのインタビュー記事読みました。「とても気さくでジェントルマンで細かいところまで目が行き届く感じの方でした。」やはりというか、彼のMySpaceでの顔写真をみると、とっても穏やかな方だと思っていました。 Swedenの人って、何か我々日本人と合うなと感じていますし、音楽もスッと入ってきます。 Bossanova好きでもありますよね。アルバム”Footprints in New York”聞いてます。いいですね！！　また、繰り返しになりますが、”The Water is wide"も大好きです。PCの前でしか聞けないのが残念だけど。。。。これからも宜しくお願いします。

Ronnie Lee Daise / Associates Online Now!	Sep 11 2009 5:06 AM " A Feeling" "I have a feeling that they are laughing at us a lot Thinking we know it all on our grain of sand We're so damned small I have a feeling, that's all We must be the show from planet zero Reserved for stubborn asses And wanna be Nero's Those who choose to hide their heads instead of plan A better world For their fellow man Until you care We won't care I just have a feeling they're saying that Somewhere They still haven't admitted they're in way over their heads I just have a feeling Somewhere that's being said Anyway, what would I know? I'm just a stubborn ass Who refuses to surrender hope" Ronnie Lee Daise
