A two man band. They play traditional Japanese instruments called the Shamisen. Mainly instrumental, they fuse the traditional Japanese sound of the Shamisen with a lot of the modern music of today, like rock, pop, jazz, funk and even some country music. The recording quality is top notch.
Singer/pianist Diana Krall breaks new ground interpreting modern standards by Tom Waits, Mose Allison, and Joni Mitchell, as well as compositions by herself and new husband, Elvis Costello. Krall's piano-jazz cred comes through loudly and clearly on her Count Basie-styled version of the Bonnie Raitt staple "Love Me Like a Man" (written by folk-bluesman Chris Smither). But it's the collaborations with her spouse that unearth untapped emotional nuances of her velvet voice; many are reminiscent of Bill Evans's moody, impressionistic pieces.
