Hiromi

Ever since the 2003 release of her debut Another Mind, Hiromi has electrified audiences and critics east and west, with a creative energy that encompasses and eclipses the boundaries of jazz, classical and pop parameters, taking improvisation and composition to new heights of complexity and sophistication.

Her latest album (released on Friday 4 October), the vivid solo piano outing Spectrum, offers a dazzling evocation of the vibrant array of colors that imbue her music.

“I don’t want to put a name on my music. Other people can put a name on what I do. It’s just the union of what I’ve been listening to and what I’ve been learning. It has some elements of classical music, it has some rock, it has some jazz, but I don’t need to give it a name.”
