Vancouver-based keyboardist/melodica player Sharon Minemoto is a swinging and sensitive performer with a highly melodic style. She is also the composer of some very hip, original music that runs the gamut from introspective to funky, drawing wide-ranging influence from Herbie Hancock, Kenny Wheeler, Stevie Wonder, and Alexander Scriabin. Her sublime and tasteful quartet features Jon Bentley saxophone, Darren Radtke bass, and Bernie Arai drums.
