SAN FRANCISCO, CA: KEIKO MATSUI AT FEINSTEIN'S
FEINSTEIN'S AT THE NIKKO (222 Mason Street, San Francisco, CA - 866- 663- 1063) welcomes internationally acclaimed pianist, composer and humanitarian Keiko Matsui for three performances on Thursday & Friday, May 7th & 8th at 8:00 pm and Saturday, May 9th at 7:00 pm. In 1997, she launched a tour dedicated to raising awareness of breast cancer, and released a four-song CD entitled "A Gift of Hope" that benefitted the Y-Me Breast Cancer Organization. Her music was prominently featured in "Say It, Fight It, Cure It," a Lifetime special profiling several courageous women battling breast cancer. In 1999, the pianist performed at "A Golden Moment," a skating concert featuring Olympic figure skaters Kristi Yamaguchi, Tara Lipinski, Ekaterina Gordeeva, and Katarina Witt, which benefitted the Susan G. Komen Foundation. 1998 saw the release of her album "Full Moon And The Shrine," which was accompanied by the acclaimed PBS-TV special "Keiko Matsui: Light Above The Trees." In 2000, the special earned Keiko a National Smooth Jazz Award for "Best Long- Form Video Achievement" and she was honored with an award for "Best Female Artist." She claimed the award again in 2001. In 2002, she released the poignant recording The Ring, which was meant to communicate a message of peace, compassion, and humanity to listeners around the world. Keiko Matsui's CD "Deep Blue" (2001) topped Billboard's Contemporary Jazz charts for three consecutive weeks. Keiko is the first Japanese artist to achieve this honor. In 2003 she enjoyed success with her recording "The Piano," which featured reinventions of some of her most loved original works. In 2004 the title track of Keiko's "Wildflower" was used to support the United Nations World Food Programme's efforts in Africa. In addition proceeds from her 2001 mini-CD, "A Gift of Life," went to The National Donor Program and Marrow Foundation in support of A3M. In December 2009, the highly sought-after pianist was asked to put together a Christmas show at the Blue Note club in Tokyo, which was a major success and in November 2010 she made her highly anticipated debut at the Blue Note in NY, which was sold out. In 2011 Keiko recorded with fellow pianist Bob James on a four hand piano project called Altair & Vega. Keiko's depth as a composer has also allowed her to contribute music to soundtracks in Japan, the U.S. and Russia. She also released her critically heralded Top 5 Billboard Recording "The Road..." which featured Cameroonian bassist Richard Bona and saxophonists Kirk Whalum and Jackiem Joyner among others. There is a $45-$60 cover plus a $20 food/drink minimum.
