Karen Aoki - Twilight Jazz: Standards with Piano & Guitar

Since her debut six years ago, Japanese jazz crooner Karen Aoki has dominated HMV and Tower Records charts under the Bossa Nova, Lounge, Swing and Latin Jazz genres with the sweet romance that manifests itself in her tender, genial voice. Adding vibrant new colors to Jazz, Rock and Pop classics, Japan's reigning jazz queen Aoki is the darling of music fans and the media alike. With top producer Ryosuke Imai (Namie Amuro?Ayumi Hamasaki) helming her 2011 album Voyage, Aoki has successfully entered the mainstream circuit, exhibiting her amazing ability to take on a diverse range of genres and earning her the right to perform the interlude of the movie Andalusia: Revenge of the Goddess. Less than a year later, Karen Aoki will wow US once again with her new album Twilight Jazz, which is a significant departure from Voyage and back-to-basics effort. Complemented by guitar and piano, the sweet elegance of Aoki's voice will enthrall your senses, covers include Stevie Wonder's Billboard Top 4 single My Cherie Amour, Breakfast at Tiffany's theme song Moon River, Smile (theme of Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times), the Beatles' Grammy-winning Michelle, Elvis Presley's classic Love Me Tender, as well as Fly Me to the Moon, Dream a Little Dream of Me and other evergreens, all of which will conjure a lush air of twilight romance that will mesmerize you for a long time to come.
