DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Yi C.\nMusicians: Jun Iida\n\nAward winning trumpeter
  Jun Iida leads his NYC-based quintet on a West Coast tour\, showcasing ne
 w compositions alongside beloved jazz standards. Drawing inspiration from 
 the rich history of jazz and Black American Music\, born from systems of o
 ppression and exploitation\, Iida aims to convey powerful messages of free
 dom\, hope\, and resilience through his music. His Japanese heritage and c
 ultural influences shape his sound\, blending the improvisational spirit o
 f jazz with the expressive nuances of traditional Japanese music to create
  a unique and dynamic musical voice.\n\nPress Quotes:\n“Iida's trumpet d
 elivers a lush\, mellow tone. His improvisations are thoughtfully presente
 d\, surprisingly inventive\, and highly inflected with ornamentations\, bo
 th classic jazz and Japanese-inflected elements. He swings in a style\nwhi
 ch is totally unique [...] colorful and\, at times\, enchanting\, stimulat
 ing both ear and mind.” (All About Jazz)\n“All compositions are reflec
 tive of both his Japanese heritage and his command and fluency in jazz com
 position and stylings\, the two worlds being complementary and mutually en
 riching." (London Jazz News)\n“Iida has a mellow tone and a relaxed styl
 e [...] his wide interests in music and versatility are on display." (Down
 beat Magazine)
