      Keiko Matsui is in her prime. As an artist she has developed a confidence that only comes with a mastery of instrument and her band. Her attack of the keyboards is pure feminine strength mixed with a subtlety and mood that one can only describe as magical. While smooth jazz is not always my favorite, I found Keiko's tunes honest and interesting, with a gift for drama that builds. She has an amazing band and her dialogue with her sax player was made in heaven. It seems like every show I attend at One World is better than the last from the stunning local guest artists that serenade you in the lobby before the show to the wonderful lighting effects that really make the artists shine. We were treated to a live painting by Cuban artist Rolando Diaz, a collaboration that delights the jazz artists as well as the audience. Keiko has some great stories as well from her world travels as one of jazz's top artists. Just a delight! Don't miss her next time she's in town. She loves Austin. Collapse
