    After 65 yrs of playing, it is rare that tears of joy come to my eyes when listening to jazz, but this gal did it. An original who gives honest homage to what has gone before while blazing her own trail. Andrews and Smith are top notch players who share and contribute to her vision. Anyone who says this is technical prowess is completely right… but this is the least of her gifts and abilities.

      I fully agree! What I find frightening is the audacity of playing 'Desire' as an opening to a live gig! Gutsy or what?? Smiths percussion is far less complicated than others who have played alongside her, but I think it works really well. Wish I'd been at this gig!!! Really excellent stuff! She's gorgeous too!!

      Worry not, while it's probably one of the most well recorded (sound and video quality), I think in terms of playing, many like me favour her older, perhaps more candid days when she played with Tony Grey and Martin Valihora.( For instance, see th-cam.com/video/Qgpw75x3QhU/w-d-xo.html and around those years ).
      Don't worry, whenever I think I'm out of new music from her, I dig further on youtube and find something new. Oh also, th-cam.com/video/Mf6UNCBy3MA/w-d-xo.html ... it's probably my all time favourite song. :'(

    It is simply not possible for a human being to play the piano this way. Or at least I might have said so, and I had seen some jazz pianists play in my day, until this treatment of "I've Got Rhythm." WOW. Not only rhythm, but the lady has some chops on her, and a genius for improvisation which places her in some pretty venerable company at the ivories: Petrucciani, Peterson, Corea, so many more, virtuosi all, and here is this tiny little gal showing them all how it is done, and making it look easy. Also gotta say her sound is a lot more suited for A Jackson and his six-string bass, which I actually found almost annoying and out of place when he played with Michel Petrucciani and Steve Gadd. Not to take anything away from that incredible lineup either, but this is the jazz trio unleashed like I had never seen before: thoroughly grounded in tradition and history and yet kicking down boundaries like so many dominos, the way jazz is supposed to keep right on doing. This is what happens when an old jazz fan drops out of society, moves out in the country and becomes a hermit for ten years: a guy doesn't realize that jazz is alive and well and still stirring up audiences like no other performing arts can. Thank goodness for TH-cam, the old jazz lover's best friend ever.

    I bought her debut album about 15 years ago, and was impressed with her musicianship (both musicality and virtuosity), thinking that another talented pianist had emerged.
    But, I was wrong … well, sort of. “Another talented pianist” now seems to be understatement. As many comments on her vids say, she has become among the greatest jazz pianists of all time, or perhaps even the very best already.
    With no sheet music or charts, she just improvises like crazy whether with a rhythm section or on her own. Back in the 70’s, I admired Keith Jarrett's solo piano performances, but sometimes found them a bit pedantic or self-indulgent or even boring. But not so at all with Hiromi - her solo performances are always innovative, melodic and enchanting.
    Hiromi already showed her versatility on her 1st album, and I liked it. But versatile musicians often fail to establish their own sound and end up being just one of them. Well, again it’s not the case with Hiromi. While retaining her versatility, she has successfully developed her own “Hiromi” sound, which is so recognizable.
    In my view, Hiromi may well be the jazz pianist of the century. And she is still exploring and developing …. Damn!

      He was a schooled Fusion and Jazz drummer coming out of Berklee. He was playing with Jean Luc Ponty, then Montrose, then while Ronnie Montrose was opening for Journey, Aynsley Dunbar and Journey parted ways and Steve stepped in. After Journey he played a lot of varied gigs and then formed Vital Information. He has never stopped learning and is one of the best drummers on Earth today

    I've been waiting for 50 years to find someone I could love as much or more than Dizzy Gillespie. Hiromi has delivered my waiting. Evolution of Art Forms take time. Hiromi could not come after Dizzy Gillespie until certain things happened in the world. When Dizzy did his first two decades many things happened. the first Jet Aircraft, the Diesel locomotives took over from the Steam Locomotives, the first space ships, the very first missions to Mars. Now after 50 more years enough new stuff has happened. There has been Train Systems built that travel 300 miles per hour. We are on the cusp of new Electric Automobile Technology. There has been so many missions to Mars that the Scientists say, we know the surface of Mars better than we know the Earth's surface. We have discovered at least ten thousand Extrasolar Planets. The World became ready for the wonderful Hiromi.

    As a drummer, it is really interesting for me to hear her play with Steve Smith as opposed to Simon Philips. I am a big fan of Philips playing and sound, but he is clearly more a rock guy than a jazz guy whereas Smith is the opposite. They are both great, of course, but the affect on the music is noteworthy.

      I saw this trio with Simon and the 'trouble' was that Simon brought along his rock kit, along with Octobans. In playing drums since I was 13, 40 years ago, and knowing of Octobans since all that time, have yet to hear them played in context in any situation - yet Simon insists on hitting those darn things ! In Simon's defence though, I can't think of any drummer that would really, really fit in this gig, oh, I have....... Vinnie :)

    Thank goodness Hiromi doesn't let the comment section dictate who is or isn't a proper drummer for her. I wouldn't have gotten to see her incredible, unbeatable trio with the incredible Simon. People who are deep into one particular genre, are often, sadly, pretty closed minded when it comes to musicians that are not bound by their old school expectations.
    I'm so glad to be completely unconcerned with genres and focused instead on just the beauty of music, with the criteria that if it sounds good, it is good. So far, every single line up I've heard Hiromi with, has sounded fantastic. I consider her one of the great musical geniuses of the present, and her judgement about who to hire, unlike her "the rock drummer doesn't sound jazz enough" fans, impeccable.

Only three things to say: 1) FYI, I have been disappointed when she rarely seemed to play older album material (except a few crowd pleasers like "Champion" & "Return of"), but I recognized the final two numbers here, they are off her first album (2003), & in looking back at the liner notes I had forgotten Anthony Jackson played on a few tracks on that album, including "Dancando" & "Joy"; 2) I knew she would be a superstar when I saw her on her first tour in 2003, but I never guessed I'd see her starring in the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games! 3) I am over the moon & on cloud nine that I will see her Friday night in New York City, 2nd show at Sony Hall, reserved VIP seating, because once she became such a big star she doesn't do so many shows in the US, & I haven't seen her in person since 2012; 4) [Okay, okay, I said three, but one extra little story...] at 2008 jazz festival, "Beyond Standard" had just come out, & I wanted a copy to listen to before the show; online I saw the Japan release had a bonus DVD, so I ordered it & it arrived the day before the show; when I was getting it signed by the band after the show, I handed it to Tony Grey, he looked at it & asked, "Hey, is this the Japan release with the DVD? Damn! We don't even have that yet!" I was floored (& pretty impressed with myself, as a matter of fact still insufferably smug about it to this day...wouldn't you be?).
