**Seiko is basically influenced those styles with her favorite MPB (Música Pops 
of Brazil) even if this is basically one of Jazz album. She played and arranged 
these variations are very interesting with some spices.**

The CD “Tapestry In Hell’s Kitchen,” which M-1 up-tempo swing, stunning introduction
made solos with Ron Jackson (7-strings guitar)

The M-2 “Cameron’s Dance” is a Peruvian rhythm “Festejo” featuring Alejandro’s Cajon
with mixed Brazilian style ‘Choro”.

She used and played not only piano but also Rhodes piano hip-hop jazz M-5 “Lost 
In The Star” and the reggae M-7 “Colors” which composed and inspired many colors(
race)people in NYC.
 The M-3 “Encontros E Despendias” especially impressed me that
interlude like as phrase from J.S.Bach’s one of prelude .

The M-8 “Song for Milton” is dedicated to Brazilian legend Milton Nascimento.
