As you’re reading this, the Yoko Miwa Trio is at WGBH recording in their studio. We’re so happy to be there again and to share our music with their audience.

We’ve been pretty busy lately. If you follow our Facebook page, you saw a few shots from a documentary video that Yoko is participating in. The Yoko Miwa Trio also took part in Berklee College of Music’s piano faculty concert this spring. Here’s a video from that performance of “Mox Nix”:

What else is keeping us busy? Asking our friends, family, and fans to vote just one more time for us in the Boston Phoenix contest. Tomorrow is the last day to vote. We would love to get the vote of every single Facebook fan and blog reader to finish out the contest for Best Jazz Act. Click here to vote. It take just a few seconds. We were first runner up last year, so we know our fans’ votes can bring us a win this year. Thanks to all who have voted!

We’re very excited! Yoko is set to release her fifth CD, Live at Scullers Jazz Club on October 17. The eight songs were recorded at last year’s sold-out Scullers show. It includes three originals, including the popular “Mr. B.G.,” Yoko’s tribute to piano great Benny Green. She first made just 100 copies of the show’s recording, mostly as a memento for audience members, but got such a positive response (including regular play on WGBH–thanks Eric!) that the recording was re-mixed and mastered for a full release.

Scott Albin’s review of the Live CD on the JazzTimes Community site says, “She has the enviable ability to play in any context with authenticity, clarity, and spontaneity…” See more coverage here.

Yoko’s trio will return to Scullers in Boston on Thursday, November 17, for a CD release party. “Of course we want to go back there to celebrate,” she says. “You should be there too!”

If you’re in New York, come out to the CD release party on Friday, October 21 at Somethin’ Jazz Club (formerly Miles’ Jazz Cafe).

Stay tuned for more developments. . .
