-Fly With the Wings is Eri's newly formed quartet, Quadraphonic's debut album. Hearing Chad’s soulful Memphis saxophone and Kevin’s fat bass sound, made Eri feel they’d be perfect for her new quartet. Along with her long-time creative drummer Ikuo.
"We are Quadraphonic: not named for 70’s hi-fi, but meaning four sounds coming together as one."

Goshu Ondo Suite 江州音頭組曲
for SATB and Jazz Piano Trio
Goshu Ondo Suite is Eri's extended work for SATB choir and jazz trio. It is based on a traditional circle dance song from Shiga, Japan, near Kyoto, and she expanded it into a nine-movement suite. It encompasses the music of many cultures: Japanese folk dance, American jazz, gospel, and blues; even Congolese drum rhythms.
Goshu Ondo Suite was premiered and recorded live by The Eri Yamamoto Trio & Choral Chameleon in 2018, and the recording is available on AUM Fidelity records. Eri has since performed the suite with multiple choirs in Japan and Spain, always ending the concerts by inviting the audience to joyfully join in the traditional dance.

Paperback on sale on amazon!
-Goshu Ondo Suite has a strong jazz element, the vocal parts do not require jazz experience. The lyrics are in Japanese, but very simple and fun to sing in English or Spanish transliteration.-
