One of the most exciting pianists to emerge in the last decade, Hiromi has already amassed a stunning discography of mostly original works, and seems to possess a bottomless well of musical ideas, absorbing a wide range of influences from Bach and classical to jazz fusion and rock.
For her 2011 release, Voice, and its follow up, Move, the Japanese composer/pianist assembled a trio that included herself and two ace veterans contrabass guitarist Anthony Jackson (Paul Simon, The O Jays, Steely Dan, Chick Corea) and drummer Simon Phillips (Toto, The Who, Judas Priest, David Gilmour, Jack Bruce). Now comes a DVD release, Live at Marciac, which showcases not only Hiromi s astounding technique and commanding leadership, but also her trio s high level of innovation, improvisation and originality.
