Wildflower (2004)

Buy from Amazon.com

Keiko Matsui is Japanese female pianist who performs jazz / new age music combining soft piano soloing with modernized and sometimes synthesized rhythm section. Keiko started to take piano lessons in the first June after her fifth birthday, and since then she was a clever piano learner and, after all, became a pretty successful jazz musician. "Wildflower" is my first acquaintance with the creative work of this outstanding and talented musician, and I like this album very much. Keiko plays piano calmly and softly, and I like to listen to this album when I want to relax and take a rest after a hard working day. I would recommend "Wildflower" to anyone who like soft and relaxing jazz / new age music.
