Jazz concert with Japanese pianist Yamashita Yosuke

The concert will also draw the participation of conductor Honna Tetsuji, saxophonist Quyen Van Minh, and the Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra.

The Japanese pianist will entertain concert-goers with performances of famous pieces such as the overture to Leonard Bernstein’s operetta Candide, and Waltzing Cat and Jazz Pizzicato by Leroy Anderson.

Born in 1942, Yamashita is a name familiar to many prestigious international jazz festivals and stages. In 1988 he formed the “New York Trio” and six years later he was invited to play at the ceremony marking 50 years of the famous American jazz label Verve Records, held at Carnegie Hall./.
