Award-winning trumpeter Jun Iida takes the Black Cat stage, leading his NYC-based quintet with a dynamic blend of fresh originals and timeless jazz standards. Rooted in the deep traditions of jazz and Black American Music—born from resilience and resistance—Iida’s sound is both a tribute to the past and a bold step forward. Drawing from his Japanese heritage, Iida infuses his improvisations with rich textures and expressive nuance, seamlessly merging the swing of classic jazz with the depth of traditional Japanese music. The result? A sound that’s lush, inventive, and utterly captivating.
