On Wed, January 15, my first album, “and it begins” released back in 2012
will relaunch, and go on sale through online retailers like Amazon, iTunes, etc.
Amazon has already put up pre-order link. If you are interested, please! please!
I don’t think iTunes is ready yet, but will update when I find it!

I’m getting more and more excited as the date gets closer thinking about upcoming Wednesday’s gig at Lanza’s with Toru and Steve. Simply we haven’t played together quite a while, and I missed them so much! It will be a fun evening – I guarantee.

To give you a heads-up, I will bring my new album, Heart’s Calling. (I have even set up my Square credit card reader, and now can accept both cash and credit card for your payment. How about that?)

Now, here are some background of Wednesday performance that you might be curious to know:

This performance is a part of “Wednesday Jazz Dinner” series curated by Ms. Yuko Ito and presented by Lanza’s. MAMIKO 3 will be the 3rd program they are putting together. It’s a casual dinner show consists of music and dinner in one package, $29.95. This covers music, 1 appetizer, 1 entree, and 1 drink. (I just stopped by the other day, and had a meal there. You are going to have a hearty, Italian meal and your choice of beverage – wine, beer or champagne. I couldn’t finish my entree and ended up taking home!)

dinner sample

Lanza’s is a small Italian restaurant nestles in East Village with a rich history of Manhattan and Italian immigrants. The place was established back in 1904 and is renowned for one of the oldest restaurants in Manhattan. They serve authentic Italian-American classic dishes in Southern Italian flair. If you are one of those flick fans or Woody Allen fanatics, Lanza’s is a featured location in the movie, “Manhattan Murder Mystery.” (check out #4 in this site.)

BTW… mozzarella cheese was served in a perfect room temperature, the way it should be served. It’s always nice to be able to invite you when the music and food are both tasty – you know what I mean? See you on Wednesday, the 24th!

久しぶりにMAMIKO 3のライブのお知らせ

久しぶりに、百々さんとスティーブ君の３人で演奏します。
イーストビレッジのカジュアル・イタリアンのお店の
ジャズ・ディナーのライブです。

ディナーショーなんて呼んでしまうと、ちょっと畏まってしまいそうですが
とてもカジュアルな雰囲気なのでご心配なきよう。
皆様のお越しを心よりお待ち申し上げております！

こういう機会を下さった関係者さまに感謝、
そして、一緒に演奏してくれる仲間にも感謝です。


さて。じわじわとアルバムの発売日が迫ってきてます。
ここのところ連続でアルバムを聴き直してるんですけど、
もう直ぐお店に並ぶと思うとソワソワしちゃいます。
お店でピックアップされる方も、
郵便で受け取られる方も、是非、買ったよーっていう写真、FBやらTwitterにアップして
ワタシを安心させて下さい（笑）。いや、大真面目な話です、これはっ！
だって、発売日は疎か発売月に日本にいられないワタシですから、
例えばお店周りをしてチェック、なんてこともできないんですもん。
皆様の写真やリアクションは、本当に有り難いんです。


あと、ご購入になられたお店のサイトなどで
是非、レビューも書いて頂けたらとても嬉しいです。
みなさんの書いたレビューを読んだ方が、
もしかしたらプチッとアルバムを買って下さるかもしれないし、
ジャズに興味を持ってくれるかもしれないですもの！
ということで、宜しくお願いいたします。
