Michika Fukumori: Piano Images

Solo piano work by Michika Fukumori emphasizes rich original melodies and creative harmonies with succinct solos woven in like a Raphael tapestry. She shows a bopper’s heart on “Colors of the Blues” but has a watercolor brush stroke to reflective and spacious pieces such as “The Answer Is…”, “The Days We Were Smiling” and “Into the New World.” She gives an Old World feel to a pair of Tom Jobim pieces, “Chovendo Na Roseira” and “Luiza” while taking you to a stately parlor for “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye.” Emphasis on reflective and wonderous moods on this collection of art works.
