Miles Okazaki is an American jazz guitarist, composer, and educator based in New York City. Known for a versatile, rhythmic approach to improvisation and composition, he is a first-call sideman and collaborator. As a leader his second album, 2009's Generations, earned accolades from critics and musicians for his unusual phrasing and uncommon compositional style. After 2013's live Figurations, Okazaki joined Jonathan Finlayson's Sicilian Defense and Steve Coleman's Five Elements. Okazaki recorded Trickster, his Pi Recordings debut, in 2017; it earned acclaim across the international jazz spectrum. He followed it in 2019 with The Sky Below, leading a new quartet with drummer Sean Rickman, keyboardist Matt Mitchell, and bassist Anthony Tidd. 2021's Hive Mind on Tzadik showcased a collective improvisational trio with bassist Trevor Dunn and drummer Dan Weiss. In 2022, Okazaki returned to Pi with his quartet for Thisness.
