[Machine Translation] Keiji Matsumoto, a pianist who plays the keyboard in a variety of styles, spins out 12 stories. Keiji Matsumoto, who is active in various fields including jazz and fusion, composed his sixth original album in the image of the 12 constellations of the zodiac. This album is anchored by the trio of Hiroyuki Noritake (drums) and Mitsuru Sudo (bass), who were close friends of Matsumoto during his T-SQUARE days, and is augmented by some of the best musicians in Japan with whom Matsumoto has worked. The album is an ambitious work that condenses a brilliant musical experience with an original approach that is not bound by genres and is scattered throughout.
