ABOUT CRUISIN' J-TOWN
Cruisin’ J-Town celebrates the music and influences of contemporary Asian American culture on Dan Kuramoto, June Okida Kuramoto, and Johnny Mori—three musicians from the jazz fusion band "Hiroshima". Against the backdrop of community gatherings, daily interaction with people of various backgrounds, and band rehearsals, the band members explore the cultural pulse of the early 1970s.
