Keigo Hirakawa - Pixel (2023) [Hi-Res]

“Keigo Hirakawa’s compositions and performance in this new album “Pixel” undoubtedly reflect today’s jazz musicians’ creative mindset. His accomplished piano playing is vibrant, current, and inspiring. I truly enjoy the various explorations and cohesive interplay between the great musicians. They deliver to the listener a masterful creativity that is direct and immersive. With the Detroit-based rhythm being served by highly acclaimed drummer Alex White (whose drumming I love!) and the veteran bass master Robert Hurst, and the additions of Cincinnati’s exquisite guitarist Brandon Scott Coleman and Detroit’s stellar reed master Rafael Statin, we clearly have the makings of a beautiful creative celebration which will leave you completely satisfied!”
