Hiroko Williams
Jazz vocalist

With two successful CDs and a loyal following, Hiroko Williams is a fixture on the Tokyo jazz scene. She performs at such well-known venues as Aoyama's Body and Soul, Yokohama's Motion Blue, Roppongi's Alfie and Yurakucho's FCCJ! Yes! One of our most popular Saturday Night Live performers returns on July 4, offering an evening of smooth jazz vocals, backed by some of the captial's best musicians--Yuichiro Hiraoka on guitar, Hitomi Yamakami on alto sax and flute, and Ryuichi Yamamura on bass.

As the Tokyo summer gets into full swing, swing by the FCCJ for some cool music, a soothing atmosphere, and the FCCJ's usual gustatory delights.
