In now way am i educated concerning jazz music. I didnt study music in college, but my Japanese friend in Yokosuka was playing this wonderful music CD in her Moon bar and i have to say, i went out the next day and bought it. The only words i can think of to desrcibe this CD is freestyle. Everytime i listen to a jazz CD, i find that they always seem to kinda... *fit* into catagories. Big bands, slow jazz, muted trumpets or sax... they always seem to fit somewhere. But i dont know where to place this one. To be honest i dont care. Her piano playing is so strict and sounds precise, not sloppy and cluttered, and she can take it from fast to mellow and from here to there perfectly. No sudden breaks or "WTF was that"? going on. I wasnt so into jazz before, i pretty much listen to everything with the exception of rap music, but if i knew there were other people out there who could put something this good together, i think id be listening to it MORE often! 5/5 stars for sure. And thanks Moon for lettin me hear this artist!
