It's another cool Wednesday night in Aiea with a Fellowship In Jazz! Diners can enjoy free Jazz every 2nd, 3rd and 4th Wednesday at Ige's Restaurant & 19th Puka, between 6:30 pm and 9:30 pm. On this particular night, the band featured guest artist Timothy Tsukiyama, on saxophone. Our first impression, Tim appeared a very quiet and humble person. That all changed once he blew his sax. We knew then that we were in for a great evening of music. Here's what we found on the
web about Tim:Royal Hawaiian Band website shares the following: Born in Honolulu, Tim graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1977, attended Lawrence University earning a B.A. in Music. Professionally, Tim has performed with Ray Charles, the Temptations, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Honolulu Symphony, University of Hawaii Saxophone Choir, Benny Golson, Michael Paulo, C and K, Kalapana, the Ornery Horns, and the Honolulu Jazz Quartet.
Tim’s experience in the Royal Hawaiian Band
has been a lot more exciting than he ever imagined but also very rewarding and entertaining!
Global Music Supply shares: Tim is a member of the Honolulu Jazz Quartet, plays first alto with the Royal Hawaiian Band, and works as a freelance musician with several local groups. Most recently, Tim has performed with Pauline Wilson, Noel Okimoto, Jeff Keeyer, Matt Catingub, the Honolulu Symphony, the Honolulu Symphony Pops, and the U.H. Saxophone Choir. Tim is an active private lesson instructor, and has taught saxophone to students from (high schools) Roosevelt, Mililani, Leleihua, Moanalua, Iolani, Punahou, Farrington; and the University of Hawaii.
The adage 'music is an extension and expression of one's soul'. Mahalo for sharing your beautiful music! This was truly a Fellowship In Jazz! Please enjoy these captured golden moments,
and Don't Stop The Music!
