[@Percsandperks]

This entire concert quite literally brings tears to my eyes every time for years now. Hiromi is one of the most genuine, present in the moment conduits for creation on the planet. We are blessed to experience her talent!

[@johnmallory75]

Shes NOT alone up there ya kno ?! Lol

[@grunthum110154]

The. Birth of entire genres of music rest on the shoulders of rare geniuses like Hiromi.

[@vcambridge-ph.d8030]

I love Hiromi. She is abnormally talented. Have been binging her for weeks. You are correct The G key was off :( in this piece. maybe more I think her tuner will have a word with her

[@epplemo184]

What a musician. If this is a note from the past it is also a message to the present telling us that music is alive and will accompany us in the future. Thank you, Hiromi.

[@simonlawrie9215]

I’m just so scared that this woman may not be protected enough against our world . May she always be allowed to be what she is . She comes from a gentler place than the planet I live on .

So true😔

She is a beast, she thrives and lives with plenitude you can perceive that

Hiromi is my favorite jazz pianist with endless creativity. Every note resonates evoking emotion.

For most musicians, it's a piano. For Hiromi, it's a piano/harp/drum.

Beautiful & talented & doesn't have to dress,look & carry herself like a sex object.Now that's a woman to admire.

[@aquadrees1709]

ABSOLUTELY

[@robertbillingsleaiii6042]

Hiromi is 100% pure sex appeal!

[@bookguitarguy]

There has to be a story here, of a formal piano teacher in her early years telling her to sit still and maintain decorum at the instrument... yet after attempting to restrain itself within those confines for a time, her Spirit rebelled with a Primal Scream like labor pains, and gave birth to a playing style more joyous, and spontaneous, and invigorating, and infused with love than anything ever seen before at the pianoforte--or any other instrument, for that matter.

[@henriknielsen1662]

Actually Hiromi's classical piano teacher introduced her to jazz and encouraged her to improvise

[@modernclics]

8:00 unexpected reggae!

[@RafaelTorresMaldonado]

GAWD that reggae part was AWESOME the band could make a whole album with that

[@davidcourreges2595]

This is playing with absolutely no walls (or fear)...she reminds me of Bjork, frankly...intense, but with this wonderful grin...technique aside, she is one musician I encourage my students to emulate when they play..

[@roberttaylorcurryii]

Hiromi IS THE GREATEST LIVING PIANIST IN THE WORLD TODAY...!!!

[@bhuman7295]

I feel bad for your students if you cant understand the technique ... Bjork has her own wonderful grin !! Sugar cubes !! your correlation is superficial !! you cant be listening !! No one should have fear or walls !! musicians that can let go like that are the ones we learn technique from ... Mozart, Hendrix, Miles, big mama thornton ...on and on !! Music theory was written after people played .... for people like you to figure out how to play ... " those that cant do teach "

[@gregoryevans9601]

A jazz friend on FB just posted a vid of her...... I never heard of her before....goddam! She kicks ass on the keyboard!

[@cool4jazz]

I saw her years ago as a sideman with Greg Osby and she just overwhelmed me. I met the band the next day as they were leaving their motel. We chatted for a bit and she is such a sweet and charming girl so I had to ask her how can she turn into such a monster when she's at the keys? She blushed and giggled, "I don't know."

[@davidhoag2596]

I met her in Daytona in the 2000’s. She was exactly as you say. I asked her to sign my Nord keyboard and she was so humble and flattered. She said that no one had ever asked her to sign their keyboard before! She actually asked me if it was ok with me if she posted a picture of the signing on her website😂 I was in such awe. What a beautiful soul and by far the most amazing pianist/keyboardist I have ever seen. What an inspiration she was then and is to me now❤️

[@davidhoag2596]

And I still have that Nord Electro 2😊

[@craigezell4261]

Riff on the piano strings a LA "Take A Pebble" Emerson Lake & Palmer.She's got her own style though.And it's fantastic.

[@grunthum110154]

It seems that an entire genera, perhaps an entire musical culture rests on her shoulders. She is an innovator at her core. What will come of this?

[@artretti3580]

Spot on! I started out my life as a composer and arranger of modern jazz. THat was at the time when Miles et al invented Cool Jazz. All this to say that having studied the classics and arranged for the the local TV octet. I know a thing or two about music. Switched to IT because I couldn't feed my family by exploring the new world of music."Too young to get married..." Anyway, I entirely agree with you that Hiromi is the only musician I know whjo has truly assimilated both classics and jazz and has come out with a new innovative mix unparalleled in the music scene. Her mastery of the keyboard is unreal and her counterpoint between drums, base and piano is the work of genius. A Big Responsibility to carry on such frail shoulders...

[@joecoakley5360]

This is amazing

[@cankutbayhan5952]

she uses so called passing notes but without passing and sounding them observantly, and lots of resolution happens on non altered but sophisticated harmonies like on the classical way of relations of notes and i think this ensemble is way more better than 2013 tokyo jazz fest, more intuitive... you know sometimes it can be useful to dig deeper to get higher at the end, jay-kay does though :D
