Miki Yamanaka: Jazz Musician in New York

About Miki Yamanaka

Miki Yamanaka is a Japanese jazz pianist based in New York City, working in the city’s club circuit and bandstand culture. At Bar Bayeux, she leads the Tuesday house-band set alongside bassist Matt Dwonszyk and drummer Diego Voglino, moving between standards, open forms, and free improvisation as the room shifts into a late-night jam. Her playing favors clarity and forward motion over display. She is an emerging presence with a growing listenership online.
