Toppyjazz In Our Blue Canoe (Toppyjazz 558)

This week we paddle on our Toppyjazz river with another Blue Canoe release.This time from Hiroe Sekine. Hiroe is born in Japan, but plays the piano in the Los Angeles Area from 1993.
Er first 3 albums were excellent recordings. This new album Hiroe's Spirit must be another fine example from her mixture of jazz-classic and own writings. We give 4 stars for this album, thanks also to Mr. Russell Ferrante!
We have also:
Mark Turner (1965, Ohio) sax player.
U-Nam (1970, Paris) guitar
Patrice Rushen (1954, Los ANgeles) singer.
Adrian Younge (1978, Los Angeles) composer, arranger, multi instruments.
