Product Description A multi-media celebrity in Japan, Hiroko Kokubu continues to win an increasingly appreciative American audience with Bridge, her second release for JVC Music and XRCD. On this recording, a collection of mostly original tunes along with a strikingly original rendition of Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Waters, the contemporary jazz pianist's extraordinary talent and passion for her art are enhanced by the support of several renowned players including Alex Acuna, Abraham Laboriel, Gary Herbig and both Tom Coster and his son, Tommy.

CD ReviewsSmooth Jazz Piano in The Style of Bob James FDb77 | San Diego, CA United States | 03/29/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Kokobu is an accomplished and respected jazz pianist in the US and in Japan. She is able to gather other very talented musicians to accompany her on this album, including Alex Acuna on drums and Abe Laboriel on bass. This release is all instrumental and contains some great modern jazz to be played late night, early morning, or throughout the workday. It is sad that Kukubo's music has not gained a greater recognition in the US. She is a better composer and more soulful pianist than other leading Japanese jazz artists who tend to dominate the Smooth Jazz charts here."
