I played with the J-Music Ensemble and talked with their frontman Patrick Bartley about what drew him to J-Pop and anime music as an American jazz musician, and what the differences and similarities are between the two genres as performing musicians. Check out the J-Music Ensemble on all social media platforms, but especially their YouTubes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCgefJEhQVU J-Music ensemble (featured on this gig, it's a little bit of a rotating cast!)
