34-year old Japanese-born pianist Miki Yamanaka has called New York City home since 2012 and in the past decade has wasted no time establishing herself as one of the leading personalities of her generation on the piano and beyond. Critics laud her light, expressive touch and solidly crafted, mainstream approach - Mike Jurkovic (All About Jazz), while audiences delight in not only her playing, but her vibrant personality as well. Yamanaka has gained international recognition from her albums as a leader. She returns to Cellar Music with her first classic piano trio record. The album was recorded at the historic Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, NJ, with her working NYC trio of Tyrone Allen on bass, and Jimmy Macbride on drums.
