A true modern jazz man, trumpeter Takuya Kuroda has already performed with the likes of José James and recently took Manhattan by storm with a string of dates in the home of jazz. Kuroda’s skill and rare versatility allow him to incorporate anything from world music to indie rock – a quality that should be on full display over these two nights of gigs at Billboard Live. The dynamic content of Kuroda's latest album Zigzagger, released in summer 2016, incorporated afrobeat and actively deviated from the framework of jazz.
