The Music of Toshiko Akiyoshi Friday, April 12 Toshiko Akiyoshi's music is distinctive for its texture and for its Japanese influence. She was inspired to investigate her own Japanese music heritage and occasionally composed using Japanese themes, harmonies, and even Japanese instruments in her big band music.
