Today is Toshiko Akiyoshi's Birthday. Among the jazz artists living today, she is my favorite.

Happy Birthday Toshiko!

O tanjobi omedeto indeed..think I'll give 'Desert Lady' a spin tonight, haven't played it in a long time.

It's taken me years to begin to really hear Toshiko's orchestral writing in what I'm beginning to understand as her own voice, but it's been worth the time.

83 today. Congratulations.

83?! No. Must be 48. Not based on how she looks so much as...well...she's 48. 83's pretty old and she ain't.
