    So many talented people were on KKSF Smooth Jazz back in the 90's that to this day are still my favorite artist...over 30 years later...

    2022. Love this piece. The flute is exquisitely played. The piano and flute sets a mournful, yet cheery, mood. The guitar is done well.

    After discovering Keikos music back in 1995 with the release of Sapphire I have taken every opportunity to catch her performances. A show at Yoshies in 2006 was the most memorable as I wed my wife later that December. Light Above The Trees became our song and never fails to bring a tear and heart felt memories.

    They are all truly wonderful musicians! Keiko's husband (Kazu) is playing a "Japanese Bamboo Flute", and he plays it equisitely!!!!!!!!

  • @crushedrgb
    @crushedrgb 14 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've known Keikos music for 20 years and nothing moves me more to this day... I've had the honor of seeing her perform four times this year and treated to a show at House Of Blues in Anaheim where she performed her style of Christmas music. My favorite rendition of this (my favorite) is with the alto sax and acoustic guitar.. Her music moves me to tears....

    Ahhhh Absolutely wonderful Music and performance! One of my favs.
    I always try to visit the concerts of the magnificent Keiko Matsui in my city. The last time was in 2019, I think. I hope she will come to visit us again. I keep her autograph and photos with her like the apple of my eye.

  • @MIbKMunk
    @MIbKMunk 17 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I can't believe you said that! I think that the guitar solo is probably the best of the solos. The guitarist holds back a lot and personally I think that it suits the piece perfect.

    I was looking for this music for years! I've seen a TV show and absolutely adore Mr. Kazu and the way he plays the bamboo flute (i was a flute player my self but classic one). I was starting to beliave that I did dream of it as in my country i just cant find anything of them. Magnificent. I've never forgot the main tune either!

    I was there in 2007 as well. She actually had 2 concerts in 2007 and I went to both. One was in the winter and one in August. I will try to attend at least 2 sessions this May. Sometimes they will let you stay for the 2nd session for either no charge or 1/2 charge.
