Johnny Mori

Celebrates the music and influences of contemporary Asian American culture on Dan Kuramoto, June Okida Kuramoto, and Johnny Mori — three musicians who make up the core of the jazz fusion band Hiroshima. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with Visual Communications in 2011.

Produced in collaboration with The International Channel, HIROSHIMA...TWENTY YEARS LATER brings audiences up to date with the three principal members of the jazz fusion band Hiroshima in the years since they were profiled in Duane Kubo's classic 1975 documentary CRUISIN' J-TOWN. Saxophonist Dan Kuramoto, koto player June Okida Kuramoto, and percussionist Johnny Mori recount their individual and group careers during the previous two decades and also discuss their impact on newer generations of musical artists and community activists.
