Nathan Tokunaga spent the first years of the pandemic at home with his clarinet (and his mom, Sunny), immersed in YouTube recordings of classic jazz from the earliest years of recorded music, roughly 1910-1920 et seq. He was about 14 when he emerged as an old soul talent of the first magnitude and was taken under the collective wings of the Bay Area’s finest trad practitioners including Clint Baker, Jeff Hamilton and others. He’s now chasing his B.Mus. degree back east, and is wrapping up his summer vacation with this concert before returning to his studies.
