O’s Notes: Erena is a 20-year-old Japanese saxophonist who plays with depth and tone that eludes many veterans. She will be a force on the jazz scene for many years. We were impressed from the first notes on New York Attitude, her second release as a leader. Terakubo surrounds herself with a stellar cast including Ron Carter (b), Kenny Barron (p), Lee Pearson (d) and Dominic Farinacci (t). There is good news emanating from the Japanese jazz scene!
