Moyo

Contemporary jazz icon Keiko Matsui's new album, MOYO, recorded with local musicians in South Africa, Japan and the United States, introduces new sounds and rhythms to her elegant piano melodies and gentle jazz grooves. For this project, Keiko invited other artists into the creative process, including legendary trumpeter Hugh Masakela, sax player Gerald Albright, soprano sax player Paul Taylor, bassist/vocalist Richard Bona, drummer Akira Jimbo and vocalist Waldemar Bastos. Infused with the rhythms she encountered on recent trips to South Africa, MOYO is Keiko's boldest departure yet.
