Aloha! I am playing a lot in the city of Honolulu since 2007. My current regular gigs are on Saturdays at the Dragon Upstairs with my quartet or quintet an on Sundays at the Chuck's Cellar with my duo. Please join us!I started my music career on the organ when I was three years old in Japan. Since then, I've played many instruments, such as piano, drums and percussion, guitar, bass, saxophone, etc. I also really liked listening to jazz and trying to play jazz as a child. When I was 12, I started arranging tunes. I moved to Hawaii in 1999 and started to study and learn jazz seriously in 2004. I studied at Berklee College of Music in 2005 summer.
Sample Music:
"Melancholic Toes" and "Honeycreeper2" are my original composition.
My trumpetter DeShannon Higa wrote "Manoa Mist".

Satomi Yarimizo (piano)
