Description: |
Keiko Matsui Concert Live Performance at The YMCA Boulton Center for the Performing Arts of the Great South Bay YMCA.
Keiko Matsui's CD Deep Blue (2001) topped Billboard's Contemporary Jazz charts for three consecutive weeks. Keiko is the first Japanese artist to achieve this honor. In 2003 she enjoyed success with her recording The Piano, which featured reinventions of some of her most loved original works. In 2004 the title track of Keiko's Wildflower was used to support the United Nations World Food Programme's efforts in Africa. "I decided I wanted to support the WFP after learning about the tremendous problems in Africa and how humanitarian assistance can change people's lives for the better" shares the activist". Keiko has also collaborated with A3M (Asians for Miracle Marrow Matches) in numerous charity concerts.
In addition proceeds from her 2001 mini-CD, A Gift of Life, went to The National Donor Program and Marrow Foundation in support of A3M. In December 2009, the highly sought-after pianist was asked to put together a Christmas show at the Blue Note club in Tokyo, which was a major success and in November 2010 she made her highly anticipated debut at the Blue Note in NY, which was sold out. Keiko also recently recorded and toured with Bob James on a 4 Hand Piano project that will be released in 2011. Keiko depth as a composer has also allowed her to contribute music to soundtracks in Japan, the USA and Russia. |
