Keiko Matsui Whisper From The Mirror Smooth Jazz Music CD Review

I can describe the latest release from Smooth Jazz sensation Keiko Matsui for you with just one word… Outstanding!

This one literally grabs your attention right out of the gate with Whisper From The Mirror and doesn't let go until the very last note of the very last song Trees, which by the way is another great track.

Smooth Jazz music fans will recognize some of the well known contributors on the project including Kazu Matsui and Bob James plus a few other notables as well.

Overall Whisper From The Mirror is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely a worthy addition to any Smooth Jazz collection. Truly an outstanding Smooth Jazz CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.

While this entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 1 - Whisper From The Mirror, track 3 - Tears Of The Ocean, and track 6 - Torches On The Earth

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 4 - Between The Moons. This is a great track!
