The trio will be one of 60 featured performers. Six jazz clubs on the East Coast have come together to create the event featuring virtual live sets and pre-recorded sessions. The Yoko Miwa Trio will be presented by Blues Alley in Washington, D.C. in partnership with the Japanese Embassy in celebration of the annual Cherry Blossom Festival. The pre-recorded concert will feature music from the trio's acclaimed new release Songs of Joy.

“Songs of Joy is an enthralling body of work that will become an important release for the year ahead.” – Andrew Read, Jazz in Europe

4-stars “Miwa approaches ‘Freedom’ with a McCoy Tyner-like muscularity, backed by the dense rhythmic back drop from bassist Will Slater and drummer Scott Goulding. It is a powerhouse, all-things-possible sound, spiritual and temporal at the same time.” – Dan McClenaghan, All About Jazz

"Pianist Yoko Miwa injects a lot of drama into her playing by creating sheer power, by rolling and tumbling and sounding larger than life... One of the best things I’ve heard in months." – Marc Phillips, Part-Time Audiophile
