Biography

Toshiko Akiyoshi was born on December 12, 1929 in Liaoyang, Manchuria. She discovered jazz through a record of Teddy Wilson playing "Sweet Lorraine" during her teenage years. In 1953, while performing at a club on the Ginza, she was discovered by pianist Oscar Peterson, who convinced producer Norman Granz to record her debut album Toshiko's Piano. Akiyoshi studied jazz at Berklee School of Music in Boston from 1956 and married saxophonist Lew Tabackin in 1969. In 1973, she formed a big band with Tabackin, releasing their debut album Kogun. The band achieved commercial success in Japan and critical acclaim internationally. Akiyoshi received 14 Grammy Award nominations and was the first woman to win Best Arranger and Composer awards in Down Beat magazine's annual Readers' Poll. She disbanded her big band in 2003 but continued performing as a solo pianist.
