気付けば新年が明け、あっという間に2月。今年もどうぞよろしくお願い致します。
昨夜は小澤征爾さんの悲しいお知らせを耳にし、「音楽への情熱」とは何かをあらためて思い知らされました。
NYで悶々と過ごしていた頃、小沢さんの若かりし頃の本に出会い、その行動力と勇気、そして情熱にどれだけ励まされた事か。。
あまりにもレベルが違うにもかかわらず、飾らないエピソードの数々は、音楽人そして日本人として心の拠り所でした。
偉大な芸術家の素:世界で一流になる方の心の奥の深さ、道なき道を進む強さ。東洋人として西洋音楽を奏でる意味を追究された姿勢。(NYでジャズを歌っていた時、まさに私が悩んでいた事でした。)
いい音楽が世界に行き渡るように、、、
そして私は今年も、、、自分の音楽の意味を見つける旅を続けていきます♪

Thank you so much for visiting my website. I really appreciate your interests and supports!
It was wonderful experiences to play with great musicians through gigs and sessions from 2022.
Jazz always leads me somewhere a new place so I can't help following it.
I'm looking forward to singing jazz in this year, too, to reach the next stage of my life where I've never seen before.
My passion for the music is still full to play and compose new works in 2023. I will walk my way one by one, while I wish world peace...
Yes, we need more music for peaceful mind.
See you many places and let me sing to the borderless world for joy. Please join us anytime and anywhere!

P.S. I lost the best friend, Yaron Elyashiv last summer in 2022. It was huge grief and still hurt me a lot. I will never forget him and his music, taught me many precious things, including jazz. Without Yaron, I couldn't sing jazz now and had survived in New York. Thank you, Yaron. You will be in my heart forever.

" Ota’s lyrical delivery is sunny and warm. " " The strength of this project is the overall composition." -- by Woodrow Wilkins, Smooth Jazz Daily -- 4/23/2016 -- Read More http://www.smooth-jazz.de/Woodrow/Ota/WalkMyWay.htm " A nice slice of club flavored jazz/funk, Ota knows how to make you feel her original lyrics and delivers them in fine form.

Finally, my first album, Walk My Way, was released in January, 2016!
Trio: Masami Ishikawa (G), Seth Lewis (Bass), Paul Francis (D)
I am so lucky to play with such a great trio. In fact, their sound is truly amazing. Masami arranged a couple of my songs. Paul is usually playing with Lady Gaga. His drum and percussion brought such liveliness. Seth's deep and grounded bass sound tied it all together.
Most of them, nine songs are my originals, including two Japanese songs.
I will sing and share these music in many venues and hope to have wonderful moments with many people.
