Sidebeat Music caught up with Jay Matsueda at the Blue Whale in Little Tokyo, downtown Los Angeles, where he was performing with amazing musicians. Jay describes his music as folksy, singer-songwriter music laden with jazz.

Jay’s band is made up of players who are the best in the music business. They are friends of his, and their credits include Sting, Prince, Michael Jackson, Sheila E., Chick Corea, Dr Dre, John Densmore, etc.
