Hiroshima.Summer Smooth Jazz Series Fri., July 25th @ the Lake Terrace Ballroom

Vibrant, eclectic & amp; truly original, the Multi-GRAMMY nominated Hiroshima creates a musical world all its own. The intoxicating mix of traditional Japanese folk music & instruments interwoven with Jazz, R&B, Salsa & more has been a pioneering voice in contemporary music since the 1970's. After 30 years and 4 million records sold worldwide, they continue to make their unique mix of East meets West their signature sound. Case in point, their brand new CD, J-Town Beat begins with "Red Buddha" a raucous journey that encompasses koto, shamisen, shakuhachi, taiko and all manner of Japanese percussion mixed with jazz, techno, funk and festival. The songs of J-Town Beat then wind their way through Euro-Samba, Quiet Storm, Funkjazz – the gamut of musical diversity that is Hiroshima.
