AFFIRMATION (by Keiko Matsui, featuring Kirk Whalum: THE ROAD …)

SUMMARY:                                      RUNNING TIME: 6:00 Min.

For her 2011 CD, The Road…, Japanese keyboardist Keiko Matsui teams up with musician Kirk Whalum on this instrumental jazz track.  It’s Track # 8. The song is also available as a digital download (with or without the complete album).

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!
