    Oh sh...!! Jazz! Yoyoka is officially a percussionist!! I actually met the Yellowjackets when they played at the Manchester Craftsman Guild in Pittsburgh back in the 90s. My buddy was a pro photographer and they contracted him to shoot their show. Really personable bunch of players. That was my fusion era....was big into Spyro Gyra, Fourplay, Rippingtons, Pat Metheny, Larry Coryell (another one I met), so many good times.

      And please notice that this is not an average school band. Even for an art school.
      Just a quick google search shows that these kids are one of the best Bay Area can offer. They are also professional with many live performances (for years), tours, endorsements, tutelage...
      To put Yoyoka in the band with them is a big recognition for her.
      Of course, her talent is obvious to everyone, but still...
      She is the youngest by far, just came from another part of the world, cultural and language barriers, she wasn't into jazz until recently...
      And, of course, no problems for her, she fits perfectly. This shows how exceptional she is.

      I think she’ll be the youngest in whatever band she plays with for awhile esp. playing with her level or same caliber. Kudos to the other players here but I think it’s quite a step down for her after seeing her play with legends like a pro, to be honest. But typical of her to be gracious. The kid just wants to play and it’s a testament to her dedication as an artist and musician.

She wants to know everything about everything. Another thing is, I was worried about her being acclimated into the western culture, and she is doing great! I was afraid, in a regular school teenagers would be jealous, but this being a performing arts school, the are motivated by her and give her the respect she deserves. I'm sure she helps teach others things they struggle with also. And being comfortable in that environment and getting a lot of help with English is great. Win - Win for everyone!

    Jazz from what I understand it’s not something Yoyoka has played much, but it may end up becoming music she’ll grow to love playing because of the ease out which you can improvise and be much more free spirited with this type of music.. I know I’ve been playing big band and jazz music since the 70s… it also allows for a drummer to relax their feet as it’s more about accents when it comes to the bass drum… as always, peace, love, joy, and hope to you and yours

    Child’s play. She handled that little bubu like a pro and got on with the piece like she’s playing this type of music for years. Onyx is an exception of course. She killed that piece at age 7. (SMH) … But are we really surprised by this? IMHO, this is a step down for her, no disrespect to the other musicians here (and they’re good), but I think they know they’re lucky to play with her. And it’s noted that she’s the youngest in this group but her level is way beyond her years. And nothing can also compare her experience in playing with legends (pros) and her time on stage. But I’m always impressed with her graciousness though to play with whoever no matter what level. This young lady just wants to play. A great testament of her dedication to music and her commitment to improve/learn more on her chosen craft. ❤👍🏼✌🏼👌🏼

    Kind of annoyed the other band members didn't recognize Yoyoka's turn to have a solo.😒
