"Dream Walk" - Keiko Matsui / "Suikinkutsu" Hiromi Uehara & Tokyo Ska Paradise Band

There is so much contrast between between the Jazz styles of Keiko Matsui 松居慶子 and Hiromi Uehara 上原ひろみ.  Both are extremely talented pianists that I really enjoy listening to.











Keiko Matsui has a smooth style that's very easy to listen to.  You can turn her on, kick back and just enjoy.  Here's Keiko performing "Dream Walk" at Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco,1997

Now compare that with the frenetically wild but incredibly enjoyable sound of Hiromi Uehara.  Here's Hiromi in a collaboration with Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra's "Suikinkuts."
