Multi-Instrumentalist Reacts to 🎷The Jazz Avengers 🎷 Let's Get Together at Blues Alley Japan♪ 

I don't know her well, but she seems extremely happy every time I see her play with them. She is basically jumping around in this one. She seems to have so much fun while playing.

She also appears on a video playing with Tokyo Groove Jyoshi which Juna Serita was in before.

Yea but the trouble with Chizuru is that she doesn’t smile enough 😂😂😂

I have recently bought a couple albums by 3 of the saxophonists (Miku Yonezawa, Ami Nakazono and WaKaNa) and while Ami and WaKaNa are more smooth jazz, I actually prefer Miku's album which can get kind of crazy at times. I'm not at all a big jazz fan either, although I have some moments each year that I start to listen to Jazz (the exception is Senri, I listen to her stuff regularly). I did listen to Senri before discovering Band-Maid and all the other Japanese bands I have disovered after that. I also noticed I already knew Ami and Miku from a couple of performances with Senri that are floating on youtube. I remember really liking those as well when I checked them out. I just never really checked out the other members and I didn't even recognize Miku's name any more. I also bought a couple of Juna Serita's albums, but I have to wait on those because of a pre-order I placed with those. I recently watched a Juna Serita live show and she actually plays a little sax as well, which I didn't know (not as well was these 4 do, but it certainly wasn't bad). Really looking forward to more music by the Jazz Avengers and I am possibly going to try and check out material by the remaining members that I haven't checked out yet.

If you like groove music try Juna Serita's previous band, Tokyo Groove Jyoshi. Before that she played with Shoka Okubo Blues Project. She and Shoka also have a duet called AddOne.

I am just hoping they are at least going to record an album or recorded a Live set on Blu-ra/DVD to start with and they are going to keep coming together and perform.

@@MaartenT new album due out in April.

@@maladroit5376 Yes, I know. I have pre-ordered it already. Thanks for letting me know though, things like this are very easy to miss. I also noticed they are at least doing one performance that is streamed on a site that people outside of Japan can watch on May 27nd. I am hesitant on putting the name of the site here because I know it usually makes youtube removes my comment. But it looks a little like a very know microblogging website. I will just put it in a new reply and you will probably get it in your mailbox before it gets removed (I hope).

The site where you can watch their performance on May 27nd is called twitcasting There might be more in the future since they will be touring for their album, but I noticed this one popping up already.

Mine was Juna Serita's Princess of Funk video. I kept seeing it in my recommendations and decided to give it a watch. Got hooked. The drummer is MiMi who is Tokyo Groove Jyoshi's now drummer. The tenor sax player is Harumo Imai who is a lot of Tokyo Groove Jyoshi's videos plus she has her things going.

You probably have already seen this, but these 2 full sets was the first time I saw Miku Yonezawa and Ami Nakazono. I already knew Senri for a while and was looking for more stuff from her when I saw these. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6xqTfMQz3GE.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hnnZMnRbKkI.html I had no clue who both of the sax players were back then, but I remember being impressed by them. Seeing them together as the Jazz Avengers made me look into them more (that goes for all the members). It amazes me how good each members is at their instrument, I mainly knew Senri and Juna before divining into The Jazz Avengers even though I did see Miku and Ami before Juna. I don't know jazz that well, but I did buy albums by most of the members now. Miku Yonezawa's "Exotic Gravity" is probably my favourite, probably with the exception of the Senri ones. I apparently love the sound of a tenor sax.

I think he did this one in a live stream. But we can double check. :)

I think you'll also like Tokyo Groove Jyoshi and if you like hard rock try Band-Maid.

​@@donotneed2250Thanks for the recommendations, but I already know these bands and they are fantastic. I love a lot of the music that is made in Japan, and Lovebites is my all-time favorite band.
