Post Description

Keiko Matsui is a Japanese-born instrumentalist and composer of smooth jazz and new age music.

Keiko Doi started to compose music while she was in junior high school. Keen to pursue a career in the industry, she moved to the Yamaha Music Foundation, where she joined the jazz fusion group Cosmos. She had contributed to several Cosmos albums by the time the Foundation sent her to the US to record an album. While there she met with producer Kazu Matsui. They married and he has provided production duties on her albums since. The album A Drop of Water, which featured a host of US collaborators, got to No.20 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz charts, and a later release Sapphire got to the top spot on the same chart. Subsequent releases have done well and feature Matsui's jazz, classical and new age influences.
