JAZZIZ Magazine Features Meg Okura on Its SUMMER 2018 Issue!

If you are near a bookstore, please check out Meg's featured article by Michael Robert on the JAZZIZ magazine!

The music on "Live at The Stone" (Chant) by the NPO Trio - made up of Okura, her husband, saxophonist Sam Newsome and pianist Jean-Michel Pilc - is a thrilling improvisational jazz odyssey that was all about "creating on the spot", she says. In contrast, the self-released "Ima Ima", credited to Okura and the Pan Asian Chamber Jazz Ensemble featuring trumpeter Tom Harrell is a gorgeous, intricately arranged offering that, in her words, "took several years of work putting each note on paper."
