Video and pictures from west coast tour

8/11/2017

Hi everyone!

I'm back from my West Coast with Kanoa Mendenhall and Ben Zweig and I had such an amazing time! Thanks to everyone who came to see us perform, and we hope to be back on the West Coast soon! For everyone on the East Coast, I wanted to share some video from the recent tour, as well as some photos from our adventures!

Above and below are videos from our recent show at the Back Room in Berkeley, CA on August 6th. A huge thanks to Sam Rudin for having us there, and to our wonderful audience. This is the first show that I live streamed on my Facebook page as well, and I am so happy that so many people were able to tune in and enjoy it. At the bottom of the post are a couple pictures from our down time hiking in Point Lobos and Big Sur (two of the most beautiful places I have ever been), as well as a couple photos from our performances. It was an absolute pleasure being on the West Coast this past week, and we hope to be back soon!

Jazz is such a complicated genre to play. I am also a pianist, but I always find it difficult to play jazz. I don't know, but it is really difficult for me to even there is someone else teaching me how to do it. I got into jazz when I watched the movie "Lala Land". I was amazed at Ryan Gosling playing the piano and I really enjoyed whatever he played. I really hope I could find a teacher to teach me how to play jazz easier.
