Pianist Karen Shiraishi's jazz journey is punctuated by a series of notable achievements. Recognized with the Countess of Munster Musical Trust Award for Jazz in 2021, she headlined Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, London, leaving an indelible mark. Her international presence expanded as she performed at the Novosibirsk Jazz Festival, in Russia and Bern Jazz Festival, in Switzerland as part of Terri Lyne Carrington’s Jazz and Gender Justice Institute, both in 2019. She played at the DC Jazz Festival and Dizzy’s Jazz Club NYC with Ralph Peterson’s GenNext Big Band that same year, demonstrating her versatility on prominent stages. In 2022, Shiraishi graced the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival as part of the Grammy Museum Collective. Her recorded collaborations with luminaries like Donald Harrison Jr, Herlin Riley, and Shannon Powell further highlight her dynamic role in the jazz landscape.
