Search - The Ryoko Trio :: Bonsai Bop

Bonsai Bop marks the recording debut of a truly outstanding pianist. Ryoko's skills emanate from a classical background - she is at once both dynamically percussive - building impressive crescendi, yet incredibly sensitive with a magical, intimate touch for bringing out the true melodies and harmonies as she caresses each note on her ultra sensitive ballads. She has an amazing rapport with virtuoso bassist Marc Peillon and the dynamic drums of Le Fakir Abou making this a trio in the real sense of the word - a truly integrated band who play perfectly for and with each other. Ryoko's fascinating stylistic mix is inspired by her Japanese roots, allied to her passion for jazz and classical music.
