- Description
Akiko Yano’s second Nonesuch release draws its appeal from Yano’s unique musical orientations: jazz piano, classical singing, Japanese atmospheric elements, and pop instrumentation. She is joined by, among others, Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden, who complement Yano’s cross-cultural sensibilities to create an album that echoes Steve Reich as much as it does Joni Mitchell and Kate Bush.
