5.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully mastered ablum with incredible jazz ensambles., August 23, 1998
By A Customer
Keiki Matsui sucessfully brings together both classical and jazz music in this album my implementing both instrumental songs AND oral words into her music. A "must have" Cd for those who enjoy relaxing on the beach for hours watching the ocean, and listening to music. Bravo!

4.0 out of 5 stars A totally gifted artist on her way to the top!, March 26, 2002
By William J. Finn "wjf88" (Sarasota Florida) - See all my reviews
"No Borders" was the title of one of Keiko's earliest CDs. That really does explain her music about as well as anything. There is a touch of everything, but mostly this is a well produced CD with fine arrangements by Derek Nakamoto of some really engaging songs. This was also the last Keiko Matsui album to feature a vocalist, and this one contains one by Karla Bonoff. By turns, this album rocks, swings, trips and sends you into another place entirely. Don't be late.
