#777Toshiko Akiyoshi
12.12.1929, Дайрен, МанчжурияПианистка, аранжировщик, композитор, руководитель самого известного джаз-оркестра 70-х годов.
Получила классическое музыкальное образование, в 1946 приехала с родителями в Токио и начала играть джаз в стиле Бада Пауэлла в американских клубах. В 1951 собрала свой первый ансамбль. Гастролировавший в 1953 в Японии Оскар Питерсон услышал ее, пришел в восторг и представил Норману Грэнцу, который немедленно организовал запись пианистки с ритм-группой из трио Питерсона. В том же году Акиёши возглавила оркестр радио и телевидения, добилась, таким образом, национальной известности. В 1954 поступила в школу Беркли в Бостоне. В 1960 вместе со своим мужем, саксофонистом Чарли Мариано организовала квартет, в 1961 вернулась в Японию и открыла вместе с Мариано музыкальную школу и клуб. В 1962 ненадолго приезжала в США по приглашению Чарльза Мингуса. В 60-е годы выдвинулась как композитор, написала музыку к нескольким японским кинофильмам и театральным постановкам. В 1964 гастролировала в Европе, выступила в США на Ньюпортском фестивале и сопровождала Джей Джей Джонсона во время его гастролей по Японии. В 1967 вернулась в Нью-Йорк и активно выступала в клубах. В 1969 вышла замуж за саксофониста Лью Табакина, вместе с которым в 1972 организовала биг-бэнд, ставший сенсацией. В 1978 в журнале Down Beat Акиёши заняла верхнюю строчку в анкете популярности как аранжировщик. Биг-бэнд тоже был признан лучшим в США, а пластинка Insights была названа лучшей пластинкой 1981 года. Гастролировала с оркестром в Европе и несколько раз в Японии, выступала на многих американских фестивалях. В своих композициях (в стиле современного свинга) использовала японский фольклор, включала в оркестр японские народные инструменты. Самые известные композиции — My Elegy, Silhouette, Toshiko Lullaby (колыбельные песни разных народов), сюита Minamata.Фейертаг В.Б. Джаз. XX век.
