Hiromi is an exceptionably talented pianist, with virtuosic skills that are absolutely out of this world. The ferocity of her playing creates an energy as if she is caught in a whirlwind of notes and just has to bash them al out before it is too late. Her music is completely electrifying, with a mind-blowing technique making her a formidable performer. At her performance at London's Cadogan Hall, she was joined by Anthony Jackson on contrabass guitar and UK drummer Simon Phillips, as part of her Hiromi Trio Project. It was a real tour-de-force of jazz, with blistering piano runs giving new pace to her songs. But her music also covered styles as diverse as blues, progressive rock, R & B and classical stylings, making for an eclectic display that really showcased Hiromi and her trio's talents. She played on her grand piano, as well as an electronic keyboard that sat above her, jumping between the two creating a wide, diverse timbre and dynamic experience for the audience. The drummer had a huge kit, certainly a long way from what earlier jazz drummers would have used but it certainly provided a dense rhythmic display that grounded Hiromi's pyrotechnics on the piano. She is a truly remarkable musician who must be seen to be believed.
