A multi-talented artist highly praised by New York's most talented musicians. Kyoko Onoda's infinite palette creates a colorful world - Kyoko Onoda's "IDEA" digital release.

This is the (too belated) first album from Kyoko Onoda, who is active both in Japan and abroad as a composer, arranger and pianist.
The album was produced by Jiro Yoshida, a New York-based jazz guitarist who is active around the world.
The recording members included many talented New York musicians, including Randy Brecker and Yoshida’s close friends.
The 13 songs, which range from originals by Onoda and Yoshida to jazz standards and famous Japanese songs, are enough to showcase Onoda’s unknown talent to the world.
