Ryan Kunimura

Another rising star on the jazz scene, this tenor man – in the tradition of Coltrane, Dexter Gordon, and Stan Getz – Ryan sounds like…, Ryan! While the afore-mentioned influences are apparent in his playing, Ryan has a unique style all his own. It’s really refreshing (and heartening) to hear Young Lions who keep the tradition going and growing. If you dig the tenor (as the old hipster does) and you ain’t heard Ryan blow, man, get off your rusty-dusty and check this cat out.
