The major characteristics of life include birth, growth, movement, awareness, adaptation and death. And ever since she emerged on the scene in 2003, Hiromi has been one of the most profound and prolific living forces in 21st century music. Mentored by the legendary Ahmad Jamal, the Japanese pianist/composer has created music that grows with every performance, moves easily beyond stylistic genres, exhibits an awareness of the entire jazz tradition and adapts to the contributions of her fellow bandmates.
So it's only apropos that her latest recording, set for release on June 17, 2014, via Telarc, a division of Concord Music Group, is entitled Alive.
Her ninth CD as a leader, Alive, heralds the return of Hiromi's Trio Project, featuring contrabass guitarist Anthony Jackson (Steely Dan, Paul Simon, Michel Camilo, The O'Jays and Chick Corea) and drummer Simon Phillips (Toto, The Who, Judas Priest, David Gilmour and Jack Bruce). This terrific triad, which DownBeat magazine proclaimed as "one of the most exciting groups working in any genre today," first formed in 2011 and recorded their first CD, Voice, that year, followed by Move in 2013. On Alive, Phillips' powerful, yet poetic percussion and Jackson's flowing, glow-in-the-dark basslines beautifully buoy and support Hiromi's ingenious and impassioned improvisations. Her evocative and expansive compositions evoke the myriad moods and mysteries of life and reveal the soulful, syncopated simpatico of her thrilling threesome.
"Alive has a double meaning for me," Hiromi says. "I wanted to write songs that deal with things and emotions that we encounter in life. But the word Alive can also mean 'played live.' I've been performing with Simon and Anthony for four years. We've made three records together, and we've done so many live shows as a trio. We have a great time being adventurous, and I felt that we can make the record sound like a live recording in front of the audience.
That's the great thing about having a working trio: We understand how to make each other shine. Anthony is an amazing improviser. He composes incredible counter-lines when I solo, and he always plays something to make [the music] shine even more. And Simon has an amazing tone and a beautiful sound on the drums; he's like an orchestra. They can play anything, and they understand so many different genres of music. They have no boundaries. It's been a great journey with this group." - เพลง

If you're still out there, Check out Jazztronik (ryota nozaki)
His stuff is near same calibur
Lucky you
It's like Chick Corea's (RIP) come back. I was lucky enough to catch her with Edmar Castaneda in Montreal with a big signed poster and a record. Their smiles really are contagious even when they're not playing 🤩
Can't stop listening to her music.
I got that blessing too.
+hoffimm
Just discovered her, mesmarized. Each section is like a song in itself.
The ultimate in jazz: rythm, melody, syncops, synthesis. Awesome...

Sublime
Gotta love the bass players face, excelent performance btw
+Mikhail Z. He looks like a rock n roll frog
+Mikhail 0. Hippo face
+Freddy Fazbear
CHUD face.
Clearly they kept him in a separate room where they were slowly sucking the oxygen out to see what kinds of sounds they could get. Amusing as it was, this was a wonderful performance!
Scipio Massimo Haha yeah it was like an experiment that turned out to be really good
Hiromi's The Trio Project is nothing short of incredible! Anthony Jackson's bass is superb! Simon Philips played with Toto on the untimely passing of Jeff Pocaro. As you can hear, he is a master at his instrument! And Hiromi....well! Again, you can hear her expertise on the piano! She is a master! Her "Trio" is a masterful tour de Force in Jazz! Thank You, Hiromi! Thanks all!
Literally breathtaking! I don't think it's exaggerated to describe her as one of the greatest living musicians. Her playing makes my heart jump!
I've watched this dozens of times and love it but I've just noticed that she's wearing a Frank Zappa T-shirt which makes it even cooler!
Same here!

Perfect trio, gets me every time. Hiromi is a genius from another universe. Simon freaking Philips pushes her over the top. And Anthony Jackson is just the unfaltering beating heart.
This transcends genres, goes direct into the soul.
Wish there were more videos available from that recording session
Whatever negative comments are posted, this is nothing but short of brilliant musicianship and comments like, "his drum sound is seriously lacking any warmth and depth", are just pointless. The execution and the fact that it's a live performance in a recording studio, alone, should silence any haters. Theses three people are simply just killing it!
no one thinking it may be a mix/recording problem?
Whenever there is art there are critics trying to tear it down.
i can’t imagine a single negative thing could be said about this
Yes, they criticise the studio sound as they listen through their little computer speakers. And they Know they're right!
what an honour for this drummer and bassist who rank amongst the best in the world themselves to be allowed to play with the greatest living musician on earth.
5 years late but I'm just blown away..
This is running through an abstract jungle being chased by a intimidating morphing figure then ending up at an awesome party with galactic gargle blasters, getting hammered and passing out personified into audio form
Hiromi to me is jazz's answer to Keith Emerson, everything about her, from her playing to the way she writes and composes music, her drive and focus to putting on a great show is second to none. She is perhaps the best pianist to ever emerge on the scene in a long time and she's only going to get better.
+warhawkBeyond2040 Give her the spinning piano.
I was going to say you were wrong but I just checked Keith and I now understand where you coming from.... definetly very similar... thanks for the sharing
+warhawkBeyond2040 can you recomend me a album of Keith Emerson on this style?
Rafael Lopes Sax i highly recommend you check out this album of Keith's, it's called Emerson play Emerson, it's him on solo piano playing stripped down versions of his classic songs, it's really good.

Some artists are just out of this world
WTF!!! There’s prog rock, jazz, even pop... all of this taken to perfection. I’m a big fan of Simon Philips and Anthony Jackson for a long time. Two of the best musicians of all time but Hiromi... I just can’t stop listening her. She’s kind of “not from this world”.
Oh you can really tell they’re absolutely loving what they’re doing. Respect.
BRAVO! Note: This is epic. My mouth won't close; my eyes & ears are stuck ... This is more than just 'music'; this is expression ... this is an expression of 'life' ... creativity ... existence. BRAVO! :)
There just aren't enough adjectives. The raw talent of these three is exponentially boosted when they jam together. It's incredible.
I previously thought you could only get this kind of energy from metal! The opening groove melts faces! I am definitely buying this tomorrow!
Can't stop listening to this. So great.
I love how you can still hear her go HUUUUUUNG every now and then despite the fact it's a studio session.
I am so happy to see this omg
I am so into this amazing trio, I need to hear them on a daily basis and repeat.
You guys are so good!! Love it! Thank you, it is greatly appreciated!!!
She is AMAZING
I can't get enough of this song. What talent, effort and energy...
!!!!Fantastic...cannot wait to see them live again!!
I CAN LISTEN TO THIS STUFF ALL DAY LONG !
Her style may change in next decades but I really respect what she's established until this moment. Monster musician. So I'm really looking forward to seeing what she'll create in the future.
Simon Phillips es un destacado baterista británico, músico de sesión y uno de los principales mentores en la batería de este último tiempo.
Su estilo es una fusión de jazz y rock.
Además es un compositor, ingeniero musical y arreglista.
Usa una TAMA y platillos Zildjian.
I am transfixed by this girl! The trio! And Simon Philips......I don't believe there is anyone on the planet with his skill set. He is so good.
Wow. Wow. Wow.
Brilliant. Seeing them live can change they way you look at music. The conversations they have onstage are simply amazing.
How very wonderful this is. And the smiles at the end are truly heartwarming.
She is so good its just crazy... LOVE HER !!!
between tunes and rythm... DOUBLE FANTASY......thank YOU
I never heard of her before a few days ago. I've been watching her live ever since. Just amazing.
Three incredible musicians. I, for one, am beyond grateful they found each other.
Amen
Insanely good. wow. So many great moments in that song. So accurate and tight, just amazing.
wow, Wow, WOW... can't believe I just discovered this! Simply amazing!
Three incredible musicians at the top of their game!!!
What beautiful smiles right at the end of this.... from the heart!
Nothing Sweeter than watching and listening to true Professionals who Love to play Great Music together!!!
Hiromi + Herbie Hancock + North Sea Jazz = me happy!
stunning musicianship,incredible performances
..... it's beautiful ... I go back to my piano .. thank you
I keep coming back to this performance as the one that made me a fan for life. I have seen Hiromi five times once in this form and this is it for me
Bravo, Hiromi. Absolute brilliance!
Stunning mind blowing performance jazz at its greatest
How can one person be this badass! Ahh this woman is a superhero!
"How can one person be this badass!" Best comment 👍
It would be a dream come true for me if Tosin Abasi played with Hiromi
I wouldn't know what to do with myself if T.R.A.M. made a new album w/ Hiromi. T.R.A.H.M.?? haha I would die
I find it funny because they're actually friends on Facebook xD
wow, that would be a site for sure. And a Gartkska/Phillips 2 drummer setup. Of course that would sound like 8 drummers, haha because they're both so insanely good.
TRAUM
I love her passion!!!
I love it when she gets really happy with what she's playing.
Virtuosismo, alegría, precisión, técnica.... Todo !!
Power.. energy.. passion.. just a few words I can think of to describe this..
That talent, that rythm, that passion, this deserves more views, so much views!!
最高！
数日後アルバム届くのが楽しみでしょうがない！
Three superlative musicians so stunningly well matched.
It's a heartbeat. Good music, good life. Well, good night.
My Hero. Hiromi you rock my world! And that beautiful smile at the end nearly killed me.
Just discovered her and her music is just....Breathtaking!
Wow. This performance actually brought tears to my eyes! Amazing!!!
HIROMI is so amazing.. i really love her so much..,. ive never seen her kind of play on this planet. the whole band is sick.. bless yall
Out of this world .....!

Beyond incredible - passion, intelligence, the ability to pull it off - YEAH!!
love her hunter look, playing like it was the last performance. Real dedication to music.
Amazing musicians, loved seeing them live. Same energy, same chemistry. Argentina te manda saludos, vuelvan siempre.
I can't comprehend genius like this..
What can I say... One of the best music performances/composition I ever listen. Full of technique but also full of emotion...
Alive is Right...dexterity and Rhythm vituosity jazz and soul...wow
I may have missed seeing the trio live, but hearing Hiromi live in concert is on my bucket list. Wow...just wow.
Please keep this alive in 2020 and beyond... This is uncommonly great.
oh my... words are not enough.
especially intro is amazing!
I just discovered her. Wow wow wow Awesome simply awesome. Drummer and bass player are spectacular also.
I can rarely listen to a trio for 9 minutes straight, but I really enjoyed this composition. Great rhythms and so tightly played
what an amazing music creator she is .....
I love hiromi...amazing
instant fan....this is so good and full of live...amazing!!
This is a piece of unadultered music. Just 3 top class musicians playing and incredible tune. It is so refreshing to hear .........
How could anyone with any real musical taste or appreciation dislike this? 3 virtuosos making something fresh and new - very nice!!
Getting this record as well. She is pure and plays so beautiful that i have cried many times listening to her.
Hiromi you are my hero. And i LOVED to hear you play at the consert in Paris last summer at the Manson de la mutualite'. Just see her smile just after the song ends. Sigh
So much intensity, passion, and purpose. Hiromi truly stands apart from the rest.
Love these odd times in 7 made to feel even along with all of their highly skilled excursions into the "double timed" odd times. Their abilities to accurately sub divide the beats to perfection is to be applauded. Standing ovation over here even though there is just one of me in the audience.
I've yet to hear Hiromi do anything that hasn't left me awe struck. Everything she does is nothing short of genius.
Love it...
Saw them live in London last night, still in a state of shock. Loads of new tracks, surely another masterpiece album in the pipeline. Sublime synergy
+Jason Butler I was there too Jason. The most virtuosic display of piano playing I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot. But with groove and soul too.
+Jules Hewett I agree, same here Jules, it was other worldly. Fancy the both of us popping by this video the day after the concert, hehe, lost count the amount of times I've watched it. The opener "Spark" was outrageous, and the Latin influence on another new track was fresh. Kudos to Philips and Jackson, they were amazing too! What's are your favourite Hiromi tracks?
+Jules Hewett truth
+Jason Butler Saw them in Largo in October. Couldn't tell whether she said "Spark" or "Spock". Either way would have worked. I will buy the album that features Spark.
Japanese release 1st Feb, worldwide 1st April. The album's called Spark
All 3 of them are musical virtuoso's.....Very inspiring!!!!
she is a completely new definition of musicality - technique is worth almost nothing without musicality !
Good God... when people say “music is dead” they clearly haven’t seen this. Surely one of the greatest musical alliances ever. Jaw droppingly brilliant......
Anyone who says music is dead isn’t listening.
Who has ever said that?
Total Genius!!!
素晴らしすぎて鳥肌立った。またコンサート行きたい。
Nostalgic Kei わかります
I love this composition. Hiromi is a very creative pianist and composer. This piece, indeed, offers a musical perspective into different stages of life. It is a fantastic interpretation and collaboration where the members of the trio communicate and listen to each other. Great work and a unique style!
This little woman is absolutely unbelievable; I had the pleasure of seeing her live at the Juan Les Pins Jazz Festival in France not so long ago.
Saw this Trio perform at the Copenhagen Jazz Festival a couple of days ago, man what a treat, amazing
This is the most amazing trio. Each musician plays with power, passion, skill, and love. Simon Phillips has always been one of my favorite drummers and this is basically the music he was made to play. Hiromi and Jackson are both forces of nature on their instruments. I was so lucky to see this trio live at Blue Note in NYC a few years back. The end of the night they had to collect all the jaws off the floor of the entire room and give them back to their owners.
My oh my! a breath of fresh air to me, quite unexpected!
Oh my God!
I cried at the end.
I love this.
Got 1st row seats when they come to Toronto June 24th!
IMO, 3 gifted artists at the top of their game.
Gotta love Hiromi's hair style on the cover of the new CD. Hopefully there will be a vinyl release too.
I just discovered Hiromi tonight and then was curious and went to Art Tatum, Thelonius Monk, Oscar Peterson, and Dizzy Gillespie and although they played in a time when possibly there were some audio limitations Hiromi sounds like the greatest Jazz Musician ever. She sounds more complete and in command of a greater improvisational unpredictability and she smiles and laughs and is beside herself with Joy, technical mastery and is having great fun between herself and the audience and the other musicians. Now after a time not listening to jazz everyday I'm excited about Hiromi the way I used to be excited about Dizzy.
It's not fair to compare people when you just briefly go to their videos and judge them. It took me a very long time to start really understanding the sheer virtuosity of early jazz musicians, and I keep learning more and more as I listen to them.
I just got hip to this Hiromi with her last album. I have missed a lot. Wish I knew about her sooner because the chord progressions are awesome. Eargasim indeed.
