With the release of her 1993 <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Blue+Note%22">Blue Note</a> debut Cruisin', pianist Junko Onishi arrived as one of the most promising of Japan-born jazz musicians. Growing up in Tokyo, Onishi received classical piano lessons but became quite interested in jazz. She studied at Berklee and after three years moved to New York. Already a well-developed player, Onishi worked with <a href="spotify:artist:3BG0nwVh3Gc7cuT4XdsLtt">Joe Henderson</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6HB1MchEEMg40EisSJuenZ">Betty Carter</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0Vz0vgVrclNJlHBLrgjklY">Kenny Garrett</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:76RVMB4iAPdPJvuTFPkHQ1">Mingus Dynasty</a> before recording her debut as a leader. She considers her style to be based on <a href="spotify:artist:4F7Q5NV6h5TSwCainz8S5A">Duke Ellington</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4PDpGtF16XpqvXxsrFwQnN">Thelonious Monk</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:47odibUtrN3lnWx0p0pk2P">Ornette Coleman</a>; her other recordings from the '90s include 1994's Live at the Village Vanguard, 1995's Piano Quintet Suite, and 1999's Fragile. After Fragile, Onishi took a break from releasing albums to focus on developing her music. She returned over ten years later with 2009's Musical Moments. She followed that up a year later with her 2010 <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Verve%22">Verve</a> debut, Baroque, which featured several Onishi originals as well as interpretations of some 20th century classical pieces, including "The Three Penny Opera." ~ Scott Yanow
