Hiromi - 11:49PM The Piano Quintet (Live from Blue Note Tokyo)

[@charleswagner284]

How does this not have ten million views? Absolutely stunning classical/jazzz/blues composition. Oh, and she can play a bit of piano as well.

[@DanKaschel]

It is spectacular but not particularly accessible. That's the price of this flavor of genius.

[@mugal9086]

まじ、すげ、この曲すきで500回以上聞いてる。

[@aquamarine99911]

Hiromi's like Jimi Hendrix. People get so caught up in her technical skills they completely miss out on her compositional genius.

[@namelesswalaby]

except jimmy hendrix gets credit for doing things that people already did before him, he was just an amalgamation of a bunch of different influences. for example, people think he invented the fuzz sound but that was already done by Johnny Guitar Watson and Marty Robbins.

[@aquamarine99911]

@@namelesswalaby You may want to re-read my comment. The gist of it was that, like Hiromi, Hendrix wrote great songs. All the chops in the world don't help unless you write great songs. And NOBODY thinks that Hendrix invented fuzz, or controlled feedback if that's what you meant to say. Les Paul invented everything to do with the electric guitar before anyone else, and the Beatles and Stones (pretty famous groups you may have heard of) were using fuzz in 1965, at least a year or two before Hendrix made his first record. And finally, it's "Jimi" for gawd sake. Not "Jimmy". So disrespectful.

ジャズを聴き始めてまだ3日目ですが、この演奏が圧倒的なことは分かります、とにかく感動しました。生で観たいと思っています、必ず！

[@tahmato]

11 : 49, such an odd time to write a song about, then I realize that it's 11 minutes long, and just at "midnight", we hear the seconds counted on the violin (10:11) and finally, the chimes of the clock (10:34) on the piano! Just beautiful! What an emotional ride. I am lucky to have discovered your band in 2007 or so, in a Musikfest tent in Bethlehem, PA. Fan ever since. Glad to see you're still smiling :)

[@hongquanpham7322]

Oh yes that was such a clever observation!

[@DiscoFang]

The puzzle is why it chimes only 3 times. That's a jazz clock.

[@jennqgoo]

I've been to that fest! Now living in Tokyo and discovering her music.

[@feliciablankenship7511]

She is coming to my theater next month, where I work. She has been here before and is incredible! I'm so excited.....

[@Rrr-io4xs]

Hiromi is not a singer, but I can’t stop trying to searching her voice when I listen to her gigs.

[@milon5378]

Yes ! She s singer !

[@ninimama]

I have had the immense pleasure of seeing her live alongside the European version of the quartet, and besides having the feeling I was witnessing a classic such as Chopin, I couldn’t help but hear constant effort driven, and rhythmic guttural noises, coming from Hiromi. Although the voice you are referring to is not necessarily a literal one, just wanted to point out that, if you stay close enough to the stage, she does indeed “sing”, just not as you’d expect, and the breathing techniques add so much to the listening experience, and make you realize just how much a precise performance such as this consumes the artist. It was one of the most notable experiences of my life.

[@claudebensoussan460]

J'ai toujours adoré, cette énergie et cette façon de jouer, syncopee et toujours ds le rythme et l'orchestration ! BRAVO HIROMI 🎉TOUTES NOS FÉLICITATIONS ! ❤

I don't need to master anything as overwhelmingly as she mastered the piano. But for once vibing _that_ much with music would be a blast.

The ever amazing Hiromi! Creativity, power, emotion and precision. He music is a serious involvement for me every time I hear her. Wow.

[@davidsherley2652]

Unbelievable!!! I can’t believe the scope and versatility of Hiromi’s talents. Her ability to re-write and reinterpret this piece is incredible. I first heard this piece as she played it with Simon Phillips (drums) and Anthony Jackson (bass). While this interpretation has the same DNA as what I’ve heard previously, it evokes a whole new realm of richness and meaning. Outstanding!!

[@DanieltheTruebadour]

As a Unitarian Universalist, I approach the word "worship" with reluctance. As one UU wag once put it, "The object of our worship Ia not a person." That being said, in the religion that is Jazz, Hiromi is a goddess, and "worship" is not an unreasonable term. Thank you, Ms. Uehara, for renewing my faith.

Hiromi: Self-evident genius

[@phoebea]

I was enthralled through the entire piece. The way she accompanied the string quartet so intuitively/naturally and then blew our socks of with her energetic improvisation is simply masterful.

[@DanKaschel]

How much is improvised? I'd assumed her ensemble work was pre-composed.

[@DanKaschel]

Never mind, a few minutes further in and I hear it now. I cannot conceive of being able to comprehend music so thoroughly as to be able to improvise at that level of complexity and precision.

[@stevegrant7762]

I always wondered how she would sound in an orchestral type of context, it’s still 100% Hiromi madness but I think it’s her most moving work to date. She probably needed to move on from the Jazz trio format (much as I much hearing that) and she has done it in a fascinating and innovative way.

[@henriknielsen1662]

"She probably needed to move on from the Jazz trio format": Well, what happened was that Anthony Jackson had a stroke, but Hiromi said in a recent interview that he is giving classes at Berklee and may start playing/touring again
