An exquisite live session filled with realism and tension.
This live recording features Keiko Lee as a jazz vocalist performing alongside virtuoso musicians from Japan and abroad. Rich improvisation and precise ensemble playing intertwine, vividly conveying the interplay between the performers.
On stage, Keiko Lee stands out as an expressive artist, combining the quickness of improvisation with the ability to compose. The vocal intonation and the interplay of the instruments blend naturally, and the exchange of sounds unfolds with a sense of tension yet warmth. Each sound, such as Sakai Kosuke's bass and Noriki Soichi's piano, is independent yet supports the overall flow. The recording is clear, capturing the energy of the performance. This is a highly polished documentary that gives the impression of being at a live performance.
