Post Description

Keiko Lee is a distinguished jazz vocalist, who sings and plays so frankly even with the 
greatest jazz giants. She's been a regular winner as the best female jazz singer in Japan 
since 1997 through the reader's poll of Swing Journal, the most known jazz magazine in Japan.
Her voice is widely heard in Japan through TV commercials for prestigious companies such as
Nissan, Seiko, Siemens, etc. 

Born in Handa City, she started her musical career as a jazz pianist in clubs in Nagoya, the big
city near her hometown. Though she mainly accompanied jazz and pop singers on the piano,
her musician friends soon realized her prominent talent as a jazz singer when she sang a few
tunes on special occasions. 

It was when Grady Tate heard her voice for the first time when he happened to visit the club
"jazz inn Lovely" in 1994, that he appreciated her voice so much and was so deeply moved, 
that after the stage was over, this first-class jazz drummer and vocalist was so excited and
offered Keiko his hand to do her first recording.

Though her attitude towards music is so rigorous and ardent, her caring and heart-warming
character grasps the hearts of many enthusiastic fans as well as staff and of musicians. 
She has also been successful in the Asian and European markets as well, having concerts in
Taiwan, Singapore, Korea, and other countries.

She does not categorize herself as jazz, and is very eager to dig down from Motown tunes to
rock and pop numbers, so tickets sell out fast when she appears in jazz clubs. There's just no
comparison to Keiko Lee's soulful voice and virtuosity.
