"Pianist Yoko Miwa displays unpretentious melodies, elegant phrasing, and the lyrical sensibility of a jazz poet on Fadeless Flower."-Jazziz Magazine
Young mainstream piano trio aim for clean sound, delicate balance, inconspicuous beauty.-Village Voice
The pianist has an engaging way of repeating a phrase, drawing the listener in before she lets the melodic flow go free again, telling stories full of concise and beautifully-rendered ideas.... The variety of styles Miwa commands, while maintaining a start-to-finish cohesion of sound on Fadeless Flower, is impressive. A gorgeous and unpretentious set of straightahead jazz.-All About Jazz
Her second album as a leader is one of the warmest, most unapologetically lyrical jazz albums of the year... Miwa displays her facility with a variety of styles on this all-original program....what's consistently impressive is her ability to deliver complex and challenging musical ideas in a compelling and yet frequently gentle and inviting way.-All Music Guide
...The Yoko Miwa Trio and it is inviting, melodic and technically appealing. The pianist brings a state of grace to nine vivid compositions which express her many emotions and a rare jazz sophistication.-Sounds of Timeless Jazz
