Junko Onishi

Born in Kyoto, Japan, and grew up in Tokyo, Japan. After graduating from Berklee College, Boston, in '89, she moved to New York and started her career as a Jazz pianist. By the time she came back to Japan and organized her own trio with her classmates of Berklee, she was already one of the most promised Japan- born jazz musician, with rich expiriences by working with Joe Hendeson, Kenny Garrett, Betty Carter and the Mingus Dynasty. During '90?'91, she performed and recorded with her trio through out Japan and in January of '93, she realesed her first album "Wow" from EMI. This album became a best-seller in Japan and recieved the "Japanese Jazz Award" from Swing Journal which is the most popular jazz magazine in Japan. After her success of her first album, she soon relased her second album "Cruisin'", with Billy Higgins and Rodney Whitaker. In April of '94, "Cruisin'" was released from Blue Note U.S.A. and in May she performed at the Village Vanguard for a week as the first Japanese artist to perform with his/her own group. In September her memorable performance at the Village Vanguard was released as "Live at the Village Vanguard" and this album recieved many prizes such as the Silver prize of Swing Journal Jazz Award "Jazz Player of the Year", "Album of the Year", "Combo of the Year", "Pianist of the Year". These prizes were elected by the fans and readers of Swing Journal, and pushed her to the top of the Japanese Jazz scene at once. After her astonishing debut and success, she performed on the stage, at recordings, at TV shows and appeared on magazines aggresively and enthusiastically as the leading jazz pianist of Japan, but after her concert in Osaka in March of '00, she suddently declares a long rest and recreation. In '07, she comes back with more brilliance to the scene and started to perform. Her grooving and powerful performance became more sophisticated, and the dynamic expression and sure techniques of her piano playing fascinated more audience than ever. Currently she is performing both with her own trio and solo.
