Jazzy Jazz Miyagi at the Blue Room
About this Event
Born in Okinawa, Japan, Jazzy Jazz Miyagi came to the United States on a full scholarship to the New England Conservatory of Music, then continued at Berklee, studying under Lois Schafer, piccoloist for the Boston Pops and Boston Symphony. That classical foundation runs through everything she does — but it's what she builds on top of it that makes her shows unforgettable.
She's worked as a studio musician on motion-picture soundtracks and shared stages with Miroslav Vitous (founding bassist of Weather Report), Mannheim Steamroller, Herbie Mann, Chaka Khan, and Joe Sample. Her talents run from the flute to classical guitar, alternative flutes, and the ancient Japanese koto. A soloist for the grand opening of Kansas City's Kauffman Center, she's appeared at the Carmel Jazz Fest and the Monterey Jazz Festival — and at home she's a favorite at the Green Lady Lounge, the Nelson-Atkins, and across 18th & Vine.
Two sets at the Blue Room — come hear a truly global musician who calls Kansas City home.
Two sets, 8:30 and 10 pm. $10 for one show, $15 for both.
The Blue Room, 1600 E 18th St, Kansas City, MO 64108. Friday, July 17 — 8:30 pm & 10 pm.
