Few Japanese jazz pianists are as strikingly original, either as composers or performers, as Hiromi, and no other can claim such star status in their own country. At age 26, this pint-sized dynamo, blessed with perfect pitch, fills stadiums in her native country. Her list of influences, like her music itself, is boundless. Perhaps the most famous Japanese Jazz musician in the world today - this rising talent is renowned for her passionate and energetic live performances, and because her music is mainly based around improvisation, each show is unique in itself.
