Lisa Ono, a pioneer of Japanese bossa nova who this year marks the 30th anniversary of her album debut, takes the stage. In 1989 she released her debut album, ‘Katopiri’. Her 1999 album ‘Dream’ sold over 200,000 copies, and to date she has won the Japan Gold Disc Award in the Jazz category four times. She has also built close ties with the gods of bossa nova—Antônio Carlos Jobim and João Gilberto, who recently passed away—and has continued to achieve worldwide acclaim. This time she presents a special set with a lineup that includes wind instruments such as saxophones and flutes. Billboard Live’s past performances have shown that her music can soothe the club’s atmosphere, and this autumn we look forward to savoring her musical world in full once again.
