Exciting arrangements, outstanding playing and impressive stage presence make the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra a favourite for the world’s jazz audiences.

With ten albums, her own quartet, and collaborations with loads of top musicians, Akiko Tsuruga is incredibly well established on the American jazz scene.
