About

Vocalist Maiko Hata will be accompanied by Neil "Nail" Alexander / Piano

Maiko Hata, born and raised in Hyogo, Japan, studied classical piano and voice, and was introduced to jazz concerts and radio at an early age. She continued her studies in Upstate NY, with jazz singer Jay Clayton. Maiko has performed with Pete Levin, Peggy Stern, and Chris Pasin, and opened for The Cookers.
She is a messenger of the universal emotion expressed in jazz, and enjoys the freedom jazz brings to both an audience and the musicians. The power of music brings people together and ultimately builds peaceful and joyful communities.
