Keiko Matsui

"Matsui makes music that embraces and balances tradition, modernity, and the contemporary in jazz, classical, and pop. She is relentless in adding harmonic and rhythmic invention and imagination to virtually everything she does...'Euphoria' is no exception," says ALLMUSIC (2023 Album Review of 'Euphoria'). "Pretty melodies and spiritually uplifting anthems," states JAZZ TIMES. "Keiko Matsui will never get her proper due for remaining true to the spirit of innovators and risk-takers who elevated the idiom, but 'Journey To The Heart' serves as the testimonial she's richly deserving of the accolades," raves ALL ABOUT JAZZ (Album Review of 'Journey To The Heart'). "One of her most accomplished and appealing efforts," states the WASHINGTON POST (Album Review of "Soul Quest').
