More than 20 years into her career, the jazz piano phenomenon Hiromi has earned a reputation as one of the most explosive live performers in jazz history. Her many triumphs include an NPR Tiny Desk Concert that has racked up 2 million views; representing her native Japan at the Opening Ceremony of the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo; and a Grammy Award.
Her expressive, dynamic and versatile band Hiromi’s Sonicwonder features Hadrien Feraud on bass, Gene Coye on drums and the trumpeter Adam O’Farrill. It incorporates the spirit of classic jazz-rock fusion melded with classically-rooted virtuosity and entrancing funk and pop flourishes.
“One of jazz piano’s most brazenly virtuosic players.” - The New York Times
