Alto saxophonist sensation Erena Terakubo from Sapporo, Japan, began her recording career early, releasing her first album when she was only 15 years old. Discover how a sax-playing M&M doll kicked off her journey to jazz stardom. She recorded her first album with Kenny Barron, Christian McBride, and Peter Bernstein while still in the 10th grade. Today, Erena Terakubo, six recordings later, is touring with alto sax star Vincent Herring, award-winning drummer Ulysses Owens, Jr. and performing at Dizzy's in Jazz at Lincoln Center with her own big band performing her arrangements.
