 Toshilo Akiyoshi and Lew Tabackin New Yorkers are in for a special treat as NEA Jazz master Toshiko Akiyoshi and Lew Tabackin, who is a monster on both tenor and flute, play the Jazz Showcase in Dearborn Station on Tuesday, February 19th. Toshiko's big band featuring soloist Lew Tabackin has been a driving force in the jazz world, touring and recording to great critical acclaim. Although best known for her work as a big band composer, leader and arranger, Toshiko is also a dazzeling pianist inthe tradition of Bud Powell, and it was her piano work that first got her noticed by Oscar Peterson when he was on a tour of Japan in the 1950's. Lew Tabakin is a virtuoso player on two instruments, being one of the significant tenor players of our time and one of the finest jazz flautists of all time. |

Tyner’s most recent project for McCoy Tyner Music/Half Note Records is his first solo effort in almost a decade titled Solo: Live From San Francisco. The release is the third for his label and features eleven solo vignettes recorded at the Herbst Theater in 2007.
