REVIEW:
Talk about classy teamwork … the chemistry between Keiko Matsui’s keyboards and Kirk Whalum’s saxophone is flawless. Not only does this upbeat track have a contemporary jazz sound, there’s a distinctive gospel undertone adding extra dimension at the right moments. Considering its extended running time, Matsui and Whalum give listeners their full money’s worth. Absolutely well-played!
