Very cool. A lot of influences in her playing style. I heard some McCoy Tyner and definitely Keith Jarrett.
Ai was very good. This popped up because of Yoyoka, the Ellen Plays Bass of Drums, a prodigy
He is definitely very talented. Proficiency aside for the moment, I dig the palpable passion these young players have for jazz. It does the heart good.
Yoyo is a she btw, and I thought this was a good piece by the both of them. Nice to see young people interested

Apologies, I didn’t know. Hell of a drummer.
Nothing to apologize, she is pretty androgynous. I did a double take tbh.

It’s great! Well worth watching for jazz lovers and those who want to learn about what America’s most original art form actually is, and of its many contributions to humankind’s collective body of music. Thanks for the mention.

Funky!
This guy here has a few Juna tunes in bass-less versions, if you want to try that for your next cover

And to kinda bring this thread back on topic 
Not mainstream jazz either, but so beautiful, and an homage to all mums out there (and beyond):

Just ftr I don’t dislike all jazz. I can get behind a lot of this:
And I actually like R&B, especially when it bleeds in to funk. I mean who could dislike Nao Yoshioka?
I probably already posted her above but she’s really nailed the “sultry jazz singer” vibe.
Classic American success story too; from Kansai, wasn’t happy, moved to the Big Apple, made it big, and now headlines Blue Note. Living the dream that lots of Americans sell ourselves on

If you ever watched a Peanuts cartoon, OR if you just dig jazz played very well…
