Asian American Music Festival

Press, Articles and Essays

"I am elated, excited and very inspired by the artistic vision and broad perspective of Paul Im’s First Annual Asian American Jazz Festival in Los Angeles. This festival celebrates the next generation of important artists who will express their individual musical voices, making the aesthetic choices to their calling. From the music of Hiromi to Motoko Honda, we all don’t sound alike but we sound together! I welcome all of you to our musical family. Thank you for keeping our ancestral candles burning."
