| Born and raised in Manchuria, Toshiko started
piano lessons at the age of six. In 1952 Toshiko
formed her own group. A year later during a tour
in Japan, pianist Oscar Peterson heard her play
and recommended her to Norman Granz, who
gave her the chance to make her first recordings
with jazz greats such as Herb Ellis and Ray
Brown. Not long after, Toshiko accepted a full
scholarship to the Berklee College of Music in
Boston. Soon she was playing regularly at George
Wein's Storyville Club and recording for his label
with Roy Haynes, Ed Thigpen, Paul Chambers
and Oscar Pettiford. In 1956 Wein presented her
at his Newport Jazz Festival. She had, as they
say, arrived.
“Toshiko - Her Trio, Her Quartet” was recorded in
New York by pianist Toshiko with such stellar musicians
like Boots Mussulli on alto sax, Roy
Haynes on drums or Oscar Pettiford on bass.
Bonus album “United Notions” with Toshiko and
her International Jazz Sextet was recorded in
New York in 1958. The recording features pianist
Toshiko Akiyoshi with Nat Adderley or Doc Severinsen
alternating on cornet/trumpet, Bobby Jaspar
playing tenor and baritone saxophone and flute,
Rolf Kühn on alto saxophone and clarinet, René
Thomas on guitar, Bert Dale on drums and John
Drew on bass
