Born in New York City\, bassist Ryoma Takenaga began studying piano at the age of five before turning to the upright bass at nine. His introduction to jazz at Jazz House Kids\, where he studied und er the guidance of Christian McBride\, played a formative role in shapin g his musical direction. Now twenty-one and pursuing Jazz Studies at New York University\, Takenaga is active internationally as a performing an d recording artist. He is a member of the Immanuel Wilkins Quartet and h as also works in ensembles led by Chief Adjuah (formerly Christian Scott ) and Lenny White. His collaborators have included Jack DeJohnette\, Al Foster\, Dianne Reeves\, Ravi Coltrane\, and Marcus Gilmore. Takenaga is featured as bassist on Immanuel Wilkins: Live at the Village Vanguard\, released on Blue Note Records. He has also appeared with the quartet on NPR’s Tiny Desk and performs regularly at major venues including the Ca rnegie Hall\, Village Vanguard\, and Blue Notes around the world\, as we ll as at international festivals and concert halls across Europe\, Asia\ , and the United States. His honors include the National YoungArts Award and the James Moody Jazz Scholarship. Through consistent work on bandst ands and recordings\, Takenaga has established himself as part of a new generation of jazz musicians grounded in tradition and engaged with the evolving language of the music. Mentorship has always been a key theme i n jazz history. Most of today's great jazz musicians were raised through informal channels and gained invaluable experience working alongside th eir heroes. Future generations of great jazz will depend on the continua tion of this community-minded mentoring tradition that is\, unfortunatel y\, becoming less common as jazz education has become more formalized in conservatory and university settings. The Jazz Gallery developed its Me ntorship Program to cultivate a group of senior-level jazz musicians as mentors and to provide aspiring musicians with the opportunity to learn the music and business of jazz under the guidance of their contemporary heroes. The Jazz Gallery will sponsor two mentors & mentees. These two y oung musicians will have the opportunity to learn by preparing for and p erforming in 4 concerts that are booked as a mini-tour\, which will prov ide them with the opportunity to deepen their creative practice and perf ormance skills. This will also teach mentees more practical skills of be ing working artists—skills set that are not taught in conservatory class rooms. Mentors\, along with their regular collaborators\, will work with their mentees to prepare the young artists for four professional perfor mances that will be presented at The Jazz Gallery and our partnering pre senters in the NY and PA area. Mentees are thrown into unknown and high- level musical situations surrounded by senior-level artists. With guidan ce from their mentors\, mentees will develop not only their musicianship \, but also learn about managing their career in music and about profess ional conduct.
