Classical is classical and jazz is jazz. Takako does not mix the two as it should be. She plays both very well! It is rare for a pianist to play both genres well! I can do both also on the piano and that is why I know!
Takako studied with Chick Corea. Obviously she paid attention. The Chopin was good to hear! Her chops are good because of her classical training. I would like to hear her play "Blue Rondo"!!
Dear Takako: Beautiful music-you are the driving force behind the power of the trio! How about "Blue Rondo"? I would love to hear your version of Dave Brubeck's song! I am very glad I found you and that you don't forget your classical roots!
Fantastic! I call smooth jazz a kind of transition between classical and trance. Call me crazy if you must, but that is how I feel about it. Totally amazing and inspiring.
What a great performance, great video and she has such appealing looks.
When do we get another album.
