...Startlingly original pianist, blending Japanese folk music with early 20th century French impressionism, and oblique yet infectious jazz sensibility echoing Thelonius Monk.
She develops her classical composing skills within a jazz context. The music is a rich mixture of classical/traditional Japanese folk and European jazz influences
Delicate, beautiful, diverse and inspirational
music.
This highly talented Japanese pianist is currently promoting original music. An eclectic mix of jazz world music and Japanese folk music.She's at the vanguard of the army of new jazz talent which is adding exciting new sounds to the jazz genre…truly an original and inspired artist who is
destined for bigger things. Taeko's band delivers a distinctive sounds, some wonderful backing tracks on this album "space to be" and some great support playing...

Advantages: Superb all round musical entertainment by a master of his craft Disadvantages: None
...I was drawn to this album after a great review by Smooth Jazz Vibes. It exceeded expectation. Highly entertaining with a variety of styles that go from jazzy to soulful, funky, classical and drift away melodies. One thing in common with all tracks is that the talent of this man is truly amazing and inspiring. A must for those interested in saxophone or flute playing. I could well believe that this album would be a classic that music schools and music colleges will use as reference material in the future.
A great introduction to "jazz" though I suspect that seasoned jazz aficiondos may dispute it's jazz - jazzy maybe. It's one of those CDs that is addictive, it crosses boundaries and I find that my "on-trend" daughter loves it as do her grandparents!
I can't resommend highly enough....

...COST: £3.00
Place of purchase: HMV bargain bin
Released 2005
Record label: Nonesuch
Cover:
Although the picture above shows splashed red paint across a silver pole, my CD has a completely red pole, with people in the street walking by, just as in picture here.
Tracks:
1. OpeningMusic
2. Part OneMusic
3. Part TwoMusic
4. Part ThreeMusic
Okay, as you can see from above there are only 4 tracks on the album, but they link from one to another and are designed to be listed to in one run. In all there's 68 minutes, thats one hour and eight minutes of Jazz torture. Not that i hate jazz and that is why I say the CD was awful to listen to, not at all, infact some jazz is truely wonderful such as Still Life Talking.
This album isn't what anyone could consider easy-listening jazz, or dinner jazz, and maybe thats the problem - i adore saxaphone...
