Miku Yonezawa, Senri Kawaguchi, Ami Nakazano LIVE! 

As a drummer, I've been listening and playing Jazz, Jazz/Rock, and Fusion for over 40 years. This is as good as it gets! Senri has become one of my favorite drummers, but the folks she's playing with are definitely in the same league. Amazing Music!!!

Almost cried remembering the great jazz clubs that were everywhere a few decades ago. Loved taking my wife, may she rest in peace, out on Friday night to enjoy the local jazz scene.. Great to see how musicians from other countries have continued to play / share something todays youth should hear.. Jazz.....

Glen Miller, Stan Kenton , Maynard Ferguson......Guys like that, .....GIs Left a golden egg in Japan that is now blessing this world. God Bless Japan . Thank you for the flower and the fragrance. We only get so much perfection and miracles in our lives. Thank you for sharing these timeless moments.

Man, that laid back bass player is surely laying some bouncy badass riffs. I was pleasantly surprised with Ami's playing because I previously only saw her with the Jazz Avengers and with four sax players in that group it didn't give much a chance to showcase her skills. Senri is of course Senri meaning sensational as always. Damn awesome performance by everyone.

Excellent concert! This band would fit in any top-tier summer jazz fest anywhere in the world.

The soprano sax player is playing just beautiful stuff! Also cool to see Senri playing more laid back stuff. I've never seen her in this context before. Tbh I haven't heard her play anything but chops- laden things. She's a complete player for sure. She's is listening and reacting so well to get that cohesiveness happening and propelling the melodies.

I'm watching the second-last song, called "Infinite Possibility" by Senri ... superb song, which finishes with a beautiful unexpected major9 chord. But the most shocking thing is that everyone playing this most incredibly difficult piece of music looks like they're having fun. Even the superhero on bass (those glasses aren't fooling anyone - we all know that wherever there is crime and injustice, you'll be there)

This is incredibly good. I'm from Japan. Until a few years ago, I didn't even know we had such musicians.

Man do I dig this bass player. He doesn’t over do it and his comping is subtlely sublime.

Senri ? In a class of her own.

I've followed Senri Kawaguchi for years. it touches my heart to see her playing with this group of talented musicians. they sound so good. As someone who grew up playing Piano, Alto & Tenor sax in orchestra, concert band, marching band and Jazz Band, I truly LOVE Miku's sound. Her tones and bubbly play-style is just heart warming. I love it. Tenor Hunter, instantly love this song, went to Spotify found her and added this song to my jazz favorites play list. So good, thank you for sharing this concert, really enjoyable! :)

Das beste Konzert das ich seit 25Jahren gehört habe. Diesen Leistungslevel kann man mit Worten nicht bescheiben. Ihr göttlichen MUSIKER. !!!!!! DANKE !!!!!!

Brilliant combination (Ami, Miku, Senri and great support). John Coltrane would be happy to see Miku play (tenor hunter). Jazz Avengers, TGJ and many others are already big in Japan. I hope to see you again in Europe one day......

I attended this concert . It was on April 22nd 2021. My fave part was Senri's Elvin Jones style on the first number. In Tokyo jazz the band behind the headliner is usually different for every appearance. (An exception is guitarist Ogawa, who is there at every Yonezawa gig.) I suppose they do a short runthrough of the tricky parts before the show but mostly this is sightreading, even for stuff much more complicated than this. This is a nation where millions of people have learned to read music starting at age three. I made sure to see this band as I saw them two years ago at Haneda airport, thought it was great, and it might be years before this combination comes together again. I particularly wanted to hear ebass player Shingo Tanaka again. He's terrific, as are all the T-Square/Caseopia alumni. He sounds better here than he did in real life! Going direct into the board or close miked to avoid all those room echoes gives him a lot more presence.

There is a posting of Miku Yonezawa along with Senri Kawaguchi: Abyss at Clapps. A grammy award level performance. The solos, all of them are beyond measure. Yonezawa just sails into the aether.

Senri is such a good drummer. One of my personal favs.

The music scene in Japan is vibrant. This was outstanding and I have heard many variations of Scarborough Fair but this one is right up there!! 😎

Whoo, that gave me goose-bumps. Incredible musicianship! Amy, Miku and Senri definitely spend lots of time studying the 'old' masters. The more I listen to Japanese bands from different genres, for me it seems that the future of "hand-made" music - regardless of the style - lies in the hands of female Japanese musicians.

I've watched Senri grow up playing the drums....She is one of the greats!

Three very talented and beautiful women right there.

Die drei Mädels sind ja wohl absolute Weltklasse, noch nichts besseres gehört, aber die Miku Yonezawa sticht da sogar noch etwas hervor

Loving the drums and bass on this. Senri astonishing as always. The bass player is a revelation. Thanks for posting this!

Those Girls Are So, So Gonna Change The World Forever And Ever 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Thank you, Japan, for your tremendous contributions to jazz and rock music! 🙏

Excellent musicianship. Blown away at how good they are. Many goosebumps moments, thanks for sharing.

As a drummer myself I love watching Senri , just to remind myself what is possible. If I was 40 years younger, Japanese, and female

Now THAT is JAZZ! Fantastic job by everyone!! Thank you!

26:25 Miku is my fav sax player of the jazz avengers, she masters her instrument sooooo well, and the way she moves / dances on stage (playing or not) is joyfull.

Miku Yonezawa, muy buena saxofonista. Excelente solos.

I was listening to Professor Na Na Mouskari in 1973/4 on cassette.Super musicians these Japanese girl's they're masters.

This band is just wonderful. Superb feel and flow!!! Thank you!!

This video would be my desert island choice! Brilliant!!

Absolutely amazing the caliber of this musical creativity! Just beautiful!! Wow! These musician are amazing. I love it! 🌈🌈🎵🎵🎷🎷🎸🎸🎹🎹🥁🥁😻😻 この音楽的クリエイティビティの素晴らしさには本当に驚かされます！ ただただ美しい！！ おお！ これらのミュージシャンは素晴らしいです。 大好きです！

Damn, that is one fine all around band.

Senri is THE band leader extraordinaire! And Miku: even with 2 or three sax players by her side, her talent shines through! Reminds me of Koz so much! Plus: she is incredibly gorgeous! Senri...well no matter what she is playing, or at what tempo, Senri is the BEST in the world....full stop! Actually, all three ladies are superb, and knock outs! Jazz in Japan has such a bright future! Love you, Ladies! ❤❤❤

Hallo Benjamin Miller Danke für dem Upload. Die Band ist so gut. Beste Grüße

SENRI IS NOW ON MY LIST WITH MIMI OF TOYKO GROVE JYOSHI AS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE,BUT THEY ARE ALL GREAT.

Wonderful performance! Just what I needed on this approaching summer! Loved this. THANK YOU ALL!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful performance. It is always such a joy to see talented musicians elevating their art to unchartered heights. I hope to see much more of all of them in the near future.

素晴らしいステージをありがとう！

Beautiful concert 👌😊

Been stalking Jazz Avengers all weekend these Ladies are marvellous

Arigato! Only one other word I have for now: Superb!

this is a quality upload thanks for sharing bru

Great performance. Amazing musicians, all of them. With a better video recording (camera positions and video editing), this performance would certainly deserve a Blu-ray production.

最後まで見聴き、してしまいました。ギターもベースも、みんな良かったです。good！

I've never heard anything better in my life.

I can't edit my last comment. Not sure why... This reminds me of Weather Report, in the respect it is unbridled. THESE are the only band at the centre of the universe when they are playing. No egos. Just a TRIP. Love the polite applause from the audience. Living on a higher level. Thanks band!

Miku Yonezawa, Senri Kawaguchi, and Ami Nakazano, Your "Jazz Musician Ancestors" Up In "HEAVEN THE GOOD AFTERLIFE PARADISE" Would Be So "PROUD" of You, Girls, And That Was Really "AWESOME" ! 🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷❤🧡💛💚💙💜👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶

Love the drummer. She keeps the whole ensemble fresh and mobile. Nicely accented. This is like good conversation. Mutual, yet inspired.

11:11 & 11:30 Just Wow....!!! Miku Senri & Ami Amazing Arrangements and Performances - You Guy's Are Simply Next Level & Such Beautiful Playing and Imagination too...!!!!!! SO So So impressed and Very much enjoyed...!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)

Senri, on Scarborough Fair, is just magnificent!

Ich habe dieses Superkonzert bestimmt schon 30 mal gehört und ich finde es jedesmal noch besser, absolute Weltklasse, für mich das beste Konzert was ich bis jetzt gehört habe

I LOVE the way Ami and Miku play off each other in Infinite Possibilities. Fun Sax games!

Mikuさんの演奏や演奏中の お姿は凄くCoolなのに、お喋りは天然ですね🤭😂😍👍

What can I say ! I’m blown away !

these cats groove!!!! imma cop their CD!!!

Dans une situation comme celle-ci, j'aime me citer la meilleure intro parlée de Scott Imundis, un DJ légendaire des années 60 pour WNEW-FM pour l'album live de Chicago (un groupe de rock américain fondé à Chicago en 1967), puis je viens d'échanger les noms des personnes que j'admire pour moi-même : "Bonsoir... SUCCÈS... Le succès parle de lui-même, et je suis Scott Imundi, et je suis honoré d'être sur scène lors de la soirée d'ouverture au Carnegie Hall... AVEC Ami Nakazono (Saxophon), Miku Yonezawa (Saxophon), Senri Kawaguchi (ds), Etsushi Ogawa (g), Jun Abe (Taste), Shingo Tanaka (b) ". [ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PPyNRSVisf8.html ]. 🤩 🤩 🤩 🤩 🤩 🤩 . Allez-y maintenant.

and I gotta say, Senri just brings out the best in everyone on that stage!

Indeed , Top Notch , VERY NICE , And CHARMING to Listen too. Thank You for Your Talent,s !! 💕❣️

Oh my gosh, one thumbs down vote. I guess that person accidently fell down and hit their head on the dislike button. Wishing them all the best and a full recovery.

Very good

Isn't it just awesome to hear young talent playing real music and doing it so so very well. No idea of what they're saying but who cares, music is the language we all understand.
