Gifts [LP]

Hirabayashi Makiko - Gifts [LP]

Gifts marks the tenth self-produced album by the Tokyo-born pianist and composer Makiko, who has been based in Copenhagen for over 30 years. Following her previous trio album, Meteora, which drew inspiration from the monastic retreat of the same name in northwestern Greece, Gifts--recorded with the Weavers quartet--serves as a deeply personal musical memoir.
