I've been off in jazz land for a while, and Hiromi has been a major discovery. She's an incredible pianist and utterly frenetic in performance. Here are a few live performances to give you something to chew on during quarantine.
First up, her Trio Project, featuring Anthony Jackson on contrabass guitar, and Steve Smith on drums. (She records with Simon Philips on drums; videos are available with him in the trio as well.)
Duet with Chick Corea.
Collaborative performance with Hiromi and tap dancer Kazunori Kumagai. Really amazing to see them improv together.
