Every band has a story and the Yaz Band’s story is wonderfully compelling. Their very humble beginnings should motivate any aspiring musician to keep plugging away. Yaz (Yasuyuki Takagi) is a tremendous, self-taught saxophonist who found an avenue to success by playing in New York’s subway stations. Many of you have probably seen talented groups and individuals performing in your own subway system. I certainly have. However, it’s especially refreshing to learn of their rise to this level of accomplishment. It was in a subway station that Eric Smith, now the keyboardist for the group, found Yaz and recruited him for a band with which he (Smith) was serving as musical director. To make a long story short, this later led to the formation of the Yaz Band, which by the way still graces the subway stations of New York’s metro area.
The Yaz Band: Melodic, romantically smooth, funky and very deserving of the attention it’ll surely get in spades once you experience their story, told here in You Can’t It In Public as only they can tell it. Either grab a copy of this strong piece of work or, if you’re traveling around the Big Apple, listen out for the magical groove being laid out by these guys at one of the many subway stations they visit. Talk about making your trip worthwhile!
When Yaz is not jamming he collects Jazz records and indulges in Japanese comic books. Yaz currently resides in Brooklyn, New York with his wife and continues to be inspired by all that the City’s skyline and underground has to offer.
Yaz explains, “I never knew and still don’t know the definition of Jazz, I just know what it feels like”.
