2nd annual jazz charity event for survivors/orphans of the Japanese Earthquake/Tsunami of 2011. (We decided to donate the portion for recent Kumamoto Earthquake victims as well). 

Even though it has been for 5 years, it is still a long way for them to recover mentally and financially. In particular, we believe supporting children is the most important thing we can do to help.

Last year we held an event in Gardena, and all proceeds were donated to a small Japanese NPO "Hanamiyama wo mamorukai" which has been sending support funds to disaster orphans since Tsunami struck Fukushima, Japan, in 2011.

Feat: Carl Saunders, Nolan Shaheed, Mike Price, Tony Dumas, Kenny Elliott, Ark Sano, Paul McDonald, Liz Kinnon, Cathy-Segal-Garcia, Dolores Petersen, Mon David ... many more Japanese singers and musicians ... and surprised guest!
