Sale!
If we're talking Keiko Matsui, we can expect another impressionistic album cover which belies the often explosive music on the disc.
Matsui draws a little more from her heritage this time but textures it with soulful excursions ("Walking on the Bridge").
She once again gives radio a seductive earful while continuing her heightened exploration into more challenging orchestral sounds and several impressive, wildly percussive Latin journeys (e.g.
"Sail South").
Making perfect use of Lenny Castro's spicy percussion and Clay Jenkins' punchy trumpet flavors, Matsui lets loose.
The gospel vocal by Arnold McCuller is a strong one.
Other newcomers to the fold are guitarist Jorge Strunz, Jon Clark (recorder) and Sam Riney on sax.
