This month at the Burren Backroom Swing Out Sunday we're joined by Tomoko Iwamoto "The Jazzy Violinist"
Born in Osaka, Japan, Tomoko started playing the violin at age 6. Having a mother who was one of the early Suzuki method pupils, Tomoko soon became one of the most advanced students in the studio. Along with solo repertoire study, she also enjoyed playing with orchestras and chamber ensembles. After graduating from Osaka Kyoiku-dai Tennoji High School, Tomoko moved to Tokyo. She majored in electrical engineering at Keio University, but spent a lot of time playing jazz saxophone and singing in the R&B band. She graduated from college in 1988, and worked as an engineer in Tokyo for a year before moved to the U.S. to pursue her career as a musician.
