Happy Birthday, Junko Onishi! May your day swing harder than a McCoy Tyner solo and sparkle brighter than the keys under Kenny Kirkland's fingertips. Your powerful touch on the piano has consistently reminded us why jazz is timeless—each note you play feels like an instant classic.From captivating audiences worldwide to earning admiration alongside legends like Mulgrew Miller, you've proven that post-bop isn't just alive; it's thriving thanks to artists like you. Here's hoping this year brings even more standing ovations, unforgettable performances, and perhaps fewer requests for "Free Bird." Keep dazzling us with those brilliant chords—we're all ears!
