Marty’s going to be recording jazz pianist Takana Miyamoto<\/a> and koto legend Junko Takeo. And that’s exciting.<\/p>\n From elsewhere on the web:<\/p>\n Junko Takeo is one of the most appreciated and talented Koto (Japanese traditional instrument) players in the world. She has been playing this magnificent Japanese instrument for a remarkable 49 years and her concerts in Japan are frequently attended by the Japanese royal family. Ms. Takeo is a certified master of Ikuta School of Koto, a certified Japanese Traditional Music Performer by the NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) and President of Wakatake-Kai (Wakatake school, a branch of Ikuta School. Born in Yamaguchi, Japan in 1939, she has performed in New Zealand, China, Monaco, France and the United States, including Lincoln Center.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Takana just finished a tour in Japan with jazz singer Rene Marie.<\/p>\n Maybe we can get H.o.p. down to hear just a little of a rehearsal. He loves koto. Has listened to it since he was three.<\/p>\n Keith Sweat<\/a> dropped by the studio for a while this evening and was listening to some of the new Heston<\/a> mixes Marty was working on. Said to pass on to Heston he really liked what he was hearing. (Heston needs to get himself a website.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I never post studio news and I ought to.
