If anyone is going to this show, e-mail me offlist, I
want to give her my "michiru (monday)" record and if
someone can somehow pass it to her, that would be
cool. I don't think she'll make it to the Pacific
Northwest for a show so... let me know.

> Monday Michiru is one of Japan's finest soul-jazz
> singer-writers of the
> 1990's whose cosmopolitan sensibility have made her
> stand out among her
> contemporaries. Born in Tokyo to pianist and
> bandleader Toshiko Akiyoshi
> and alto sax jazzman Charlie Mariano, she was raised
> in the United
> States. Michiru started out as an actress, but in
> 1991 her artistic
> interest shifted to composing music and performing,
> appearing in small
> Tokyo jazz clubs and releasing her first album
> "Mangetsu," which brought
> her to the attention of Tokyo's burgeoning dance and
> acid jazz scene.
> Soon she was appearing on records by Mondo Grosso,
> DJ Krush, Kyoto Jazz
> Massive, and United Future Organization. She started
> releasing an album
> a year, including 1994's "Maiden Japan" and 1995's
> "Jazz Brat," in which
> Michiru's style dabbles with hip-hop, rap, jazz
> ballads, Latin, and rock
> with lyrics that are often probing examinations of
> culture in Japan,
> especially as it pertains to women. Her album
> "Double Image" (1999) is
> considered by many to be her finest works while on
> "Optimista" (1999)
> she abandoned the heavy production for a
> stripped-down acoustic sound.
> She has since released three more albums:
> "Premiumix" (1999), "4
> Seasons" (2001), and "Episodes in Color" (2002).
