I just watched the entire interview with Aki Kumar. I really enjoyed it. Aki is a charismatic guy that is fun to listen to. It really is inspiring and eye opening to hear how much work it really takes to be a working musician. I can't wait to make it to the bay area and go to his blues jam. It's really cool to see these guys on an interview, and then to meet them for the first time was incredible. I had a chance to meet Mark Hummel and also Adam Gussow, it was a neat experience after hearing about them on this site. I consider myself lucky to have these resources available. 

 A big thanks to Dave Barrett for having all of the interviews at our disposal.

The interviews are always

The interviews are always interesting. Aki seems to be a seriously hard worker who made his own opportunities.  Really enjoyed the interview.

More about Aki

To me, as impressive as his playing is, the great thing about Aki is that he is one hell of a nice guy. He has always been encouraging and supportive to this 'senior novice' at his jams in the San Jose area and at any workshop or concert I've attended. To me, this makes his music and accomplishments all the more impressive!!
