Rhythm on The Vine Jazz Series with the Legendary band Hiroshima. https://www.hiroshimamusic.com  Venue | South Coast Winery Resort , Vintner's  In 1971, Duke Ellington recorded an album entitled The Afro-Eur­asian Eclipse. As part of that work, Ellington proclaimed “that whole world was going [Asian],” and that no one would know “who was in the shadow of whom.” 

The celebrated ensemble known as Hiroshima is the fulfillment of Ellington’s prophecy. In the more than three decades since they first convened, the Los Angeles-based ensemble of Dan Kuramoto (keyboards/ woodwinds/ composer/ producer), virtuoso June Kuramoto (koto/ composer), Kimo Cornwell (piano/ keyboards/ composer), Land Richards (drums/percussion), David Inamine (bass) have blended jazz, pop, and rock with traditional Japanese folk music and instruments. The resulting sound was a pioneering voice in the contemporary world music movement of the late 20th century. 

Ever evolving, the 2010 Grammy-nominated group, highlighted by the sound of June Kuramoto’s shimmering koto (noted by Stanley Clarke to be the world’s best) creates music and sounds totally unique--with depth, heart and soul. 

After more than 40 years touring the world  -- and almost 4 million records sold – Hiroshima is an iconic American band representing the diverse cultural heritage of America .
