Award-winning pianist and composer Cathlene Pineda has carved out a significant career in creative, improvised music, both as a composer, and as a performer. Her extensive classical background combined with a unique approach to harmony makes her a fresh and innovative contribution to the Los Angeles jazz scene. She was recently featured on KPFK’s “Global Village Thursdays” with John Schneider and invited back to perform her original music with her trio.

This performance will mark the premiere of a new work commissioned by the Los Angeles Jazz Society featuring a collaboration with most recent Poet Laureate of Los Angeles Eloise Klein Healy.


TOSHIKO AKIYOSHI TRIO (9:00pm)
Toshiko Akiyoshi – piano
Paul Gill – bass
Aaron Kimmel – drums

Over the course of a six decade career, pianist, bandleader, and composer-arranger Toshiko Akiyoshi has made a unique and vital contribution to the art of big band jazz. Born in Manchuria, where she began playing the piano at age six, Akiyoshi moved back to Japan with her parents at the end of World War II. Her family, enduring the hardships of the period, could not provide her with an instrument, and so, just to touch a piano, she took her first job as a musician, playing in a dance-hall band.

Toshiko received a NEA Jazz Master award in 2007. This concert is presented by The Jazz Bakery, and is funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
