Meet Jun Iida, an innovative performer blending jazz, pop, Japanese elements, and hip-hop influences. His debut album Evergreen (OA2 Records, released January 19, 2024) was crafted in Los Angeles with a stellar band featuring Josh Nelson on piano, Masami Kuroki on guitar, Jonathan Richards on bass, Xavier Lecouturier on drums, and guest vocalist Aubrey Johnson. The result is a textured, multicultural jazz debut that’s earned attention from DownBeat, All About Jazz, and UK Jazz News, with the track Shiki No Uta charting on Apple Music at #71. Jun continues to expand his live presence with the Jun Iida Quintet, touring the Pacific Northwest and cross-Pacific events in 2025, including Sake x Jazz collaborations in Tokyo and Holiday Soirée programs in Seattle. We’ve got you covered for tickets, calendars, and the latest news as it unfolds.
