Product Description

Akiko Yano ( ) is a Japanese pop and jazz musician and singer born in Tokyo and raised in Aomori and later began her singing career in the mid-1970s. She has been called "one of the major musical talents of the Japanese popular music world" and her vocals and singing style have been compared to English singer Kate Bush. She grew up in Aomori, Japan, and learned to play the piano when she was three. She dropped out of high school and moved to Tokyo at the age of fifteen to become a professional musician, quickly became involved in the jazz scene, and by seventeen was working as a studio recording artist for hire. She has recorded with Yellow Magic Orchestra, Swing Out Sister, Pat Metheny and The Chieftains, among many more. 'Love Life' is from the album of the same name and dates from 1991 - the arrangement for concert band has been created as part of an ongoing project to bring more music by women into the worldwide repertoire. #ArrangeMeGoals2023
