"I heard this CD by accident when someone worked on my PC and left it in the drive. Lucky me! This is one of the most beautiful music collections I have ever heard. I don't say this lightly. I'm a musician. I grew up listening to jazz and playing classical music in the school band. I've been playing since I was 8 and I am so happy to finally see such a perfect mix of jazz and classical music. Keiko has an astounding sense of placement and beauty. Her accents are without question in perfect placement for stunningly beautiful music experiences. Her style is so hauntingly beautiful that it draws you in and you must keep listening to her cuts over and over, just for the experience! Keiko's music draws me into ever-increasing emotional venues. It's like experiencing a multi-faceted play with characters that bring out many different feelings. Can't wait to hear more!"

"Around 6 months ago, my dad got me this CD. Since he knew that I like piano music, he got it, even though he had never heard of Keiko Matsui in his life. That was an incredibly lucky guess. I admit that I was surprised at how good this CD was. The music on it is a nice blend of easy listening with a pinch of jazz. It is the type of CD that, no matter how repetitive it gets, you really like anyway. In my opinion, the way that the songs are put together is very creative.
In short, if you like easy listening and/or contemporary music, get this CD. If you like jazz, but don't like the other 2 genres, then don't even think about it."
