Meg Okura
Meg Okura is an award-winning Jazz composer and brilliant Grammy-nominated violinist, and the leader and founder of the Pan Asian Chamber Jazz Ensemble. This episode features several excerpts from Meg’s wonderful recent duo album “Lingering” with the Grammy Award-winning jazz pianist and composer Kevin Hays. This was a wide-ranging conversation, including Meg’s musical tribute to Ryuichi Sakamoto, her experiences playing for Cirque du Soleil, some of the challenges she’s faced, and about her search for a new spiritual community. She shared with me her thoughts on mentorship and the power of music to create real understanding and connection.
