I first heard Keiko Lee's voice while working in Taiwan last summer. She is a Japanese Jazz Pianist and Vocalist. She has performed with the likes of Ron Carter and Lee Konitz. She has a throaty smooth sound in the vein of Betty Carter's voice. She throws herself into interpretations of Pop and Jazz standards with abandon and her sense of humor and love of music shine through on every track. Her recordings are hard to come by in the states and I have had luck finding them on Amazon and Amazon UK. This disc was recorded in Nov 99 in Tokyo. It features titles from her recordings such as "If It's Love", "Time After Time" and "Lover Come Back To Me"- but live in concert with completely new and funky arrangements! A find for any Jazz Vocal lover looking for someone new to follow. Thank you Amazon for carrying it!

I first heard Keiko Lee on a Slide Hampton album over a year ago. I enjoyed this album, although I found some tracks uneven. She's enthusiastic and the arrgangements are good. She has an alluring quality to her voice, and I like her energy. There is a quaintness to this album that keeps bringing me back.
