Akira Tana and partners recently gave a marvelous, exciting and inspiring concert for the PAJA community. A marvelous group from Gunn High School began the evening. The Akira Tana ensemble included the internationally renowned drummer and leader and his musician friends visiting from Osaka, Japan: Hammond B3 organist Atsuko Hashimoto, guitarist Yutaka Hashimoto, and tenor saxophonist Hideki Kawamura, and local vocalist Jackie Ryan, a PAJA favorite, who sang beautifully.
