Free Music Notes for Moyo
Free Music Review: Good but not her best.
Hit: 3 Stars
As much as I hate to have any negative thoughts about a Keiko Matsui CD (and I have them all, from "Drop Of Water" onwards) this particular album indlucded something that I could not enjoy - the kind of grunge 'rap' bass that I often hear rattling my windows and waking up childrwn from their naps. Very aggressive music and not really suited to my way of life and of my past experience with Keiko's music.
Although Keiko's keyboard work is still in evidence and there are some very enjoyable songs, I found that I could not enjouy it to it's fullest because of the very heavy bass guitar that only reminded me of aggressive instincts.
Probably the high point for me was hearing Hugh Masakela. It has been so long since "Grazing In the Grass". But he still sounds really great. I would recommend this CD only to Keiko completists.
Moyo Poster
Contemporary jazz icon Keiko Matsui's new album, (Swahili for "heart and soul"), recorded with local musicians in South Africa, Japan and the United States, introduces new sounds and rhythms to her elegant piano melodies and gentle jazz grooves. For this project, Keiko invited other artists into the creative process, including legendary trumpeter Hugh Masakela, sax player Gerald Albright, soprano sax player Paul Taylor, bassist/vocalist Richard Bona, drummer Akira Jimbo and vocalist Waldemar Bastos.Pianist Keiko Matsui, a favorite among smooth jazz and crossover fans for her elegant melodic style, breaks new ground on several fronts with Moyo. Having split with her husband Kazu Matsui, who produced her previous albums, she produced it herself, for a new label (Shout Factory), and recorded much of it in South Africa (as well as Japan, New York, California, and Colorado). Moyo has a high special-guest quotient: trumpeter Hugh Masekela, saxophonists Paul Taylor and Gerald Albright, and singer-bassist Richard Bona are featured. But the clean and sometimes spare arrangements allow the personal nature of the writing to come through. When Matsui trusts in the forceful lyricism of her playing, as on the title track (Swahili for "Heart and Soul"), she makes the strongest impression. But even when she employs synthesizer and soprano sax sweetening, the songs maintain their honest expression. The rhythmic thrust of South African-derived songs such as "After the Rain" may well open her up to a new audience. --Lloyd Sachs
