Hiromi-Solo Piano
7:00 and 9:30
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. While she has wowed audiences in past years with her trio and quartet performances (who can forget her appearance here in October 2009 with Stanley Clarke and Lenny White?), this will be an intimate night of solo piano pyrotechnics.
“whenever and wherever Hiromi performs, jaws routinely drop…”
