New York saxophonist Chris Johansen has immersed himself in
the jazz tradition. He has gained experience on the New York scene, as
well as such far away places as The Netherlands and his hometown of
Seattle, WA. Focusing on the music of the bebop era as well as the Great
American Songbook, Johansen has worked with such greats as Dutch piano
legend Frans Elsen and Seattle’s trumpet master Jay Thomas, among many
others. During his years spent in The Netherlands, Johansen toured
Ireland and mainland Europe with the group Equinox. Since moving to New
York in 2014, he has collaborated with many of the jazz capital’s top
straight-ahead player. (Source: chrisjohansenjazz.com)
Yasuyo Tanaka is an artist, educator, researcher, organizer, peace worker, and first-generation Japanese immigrant
living in NYC. Born and raised in Japan, where the United States
dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, her hometown was damaged
by radiation from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disasters and became a
final disposal candidate site for nuclear waste. This awakened her to
become a social practice artist, researching social and environmental
issues and expressing her experiences and what she learned through art. (source: Sullivan County Democrat Newspaper)
