Free Music Review: Keiko Matsui, live in concert, with bonus DVD!
Hit: 5 Stars
"White Owl" is a special two-disc set (CD & DVD) of pianist Keiko Matsui performing live in concert at Bunkamura Orchard Hall, Tokyo, 2002. As always, most of her compositions are grand, sweeping and evocatively poignant, carrying the listener along in a swift, darkly luscious current of intensity, emotion and spirited improvisation. There is growth, direction and carefully crafted purpose to her music that is blessedly welcome in a day and age when so much new music seems either banal, derivative, or just plain unmusical. Matsui is joined in this performance by Michael Ghegan on a wickedly wailing saxophone, Mel Brown on some pretty lively bass, Jonathan Dresel on drums, Alberto De Almar on some impressive flamenco guitar, and husband and producer Kazu Matsui on the wonderfully mysterious shakuhachi. I am not certain if audiences in Japan are just quietly respectful, or if the cheers and shouts normally heard in live recordings were edited out of the CD, but aside from a smattering of applause at the end of selections, there is no crowd noise to mar or otherwise interrupt the audio performances. I recognize at least some of the songs on "White Owl" as being from previous releases. But the DVD, at a generous 105 minutes, not only contains all the songs heard on the CD, but one extra performance piece ("Mystic Dance"), selections from tours in four different countries, and a promotional video as well. Keiko Matsui's music is a bargain at any price, but this two-disc set is particularly worthwhile, and a good introduction to her work for those not familiar with it. For other spirited live performances, albeit in different musical styles, try also "Live in Montreal" by Jesse Cook (neo-flamenco), "Live in Spain" by Skyedance (modern Celtic), and "Live Wizardry" by Silly Wizard (traditional Celtic).
