Hiromi leaves the Dakota awestruck
Andrea Swensson wrote a review of Hiromi’s Sunday night performance in the City Pages Blog, saying,
“The show was so stupendous that it’s nearly impossible to talk about her performance without treading in hyperbole.” [...read the whole review here...]
Stunning keyboard virtuoso Hiromi Uehara took the jazz world by storm with her 2003 debut, Another Mind. Since then her blinding technique has just gotten better, her songwriting is more focused, and her band is that much more unbelievable. Mentored by jazz piano legend Ahmad Jamal, Hiromi is taking her music into uncharted territory, quite an accomplishment before one’s 30th birthday. Joined by David Fiucynski on guitar, Tony Grey on bass, and Mauricio Zottarelli on drums, this group slices and dices fusion, bebop, video game music, and jazz so quickly you can’t tell one from the other when they are finished.
