My daughter! (1990).  And whatever came of Junko Onishi?  I really liked her BN albums from 25-30 years ago.

After she stopped performing in the later 90's she ended playing at all after her close mentor Jaki Byard died .... following a longer hiatus she came back, but somehow as a different piano player....

Wide range of musical interests, as with me.  Good thing I found her.  I would have stayed single otherwise!

Is her show available online?
