Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
BEING GUIDED BY THE LIGHT is the fifth album by pianist Mamiko Watanabe and the fifth

album to be released by Jojo Records. It is the representation of a musician in full flower, an artist

reveling in her endless state of exploration. Mamiko plays the piano with the grace of a master but also

the feral intensity of a jungle cat. This has led esteemed bassist Santi Debriano, one of her long-time

collaborators and in the trio on this album, to compare Mamiko to the legendary McCoy Tyner.

Mamiko is joined by two revered masters of jazz, Billy Hart on drums and Santi Debriano on bass.
