I'm a pianist. Hiromi inspired me to dare to play as fast as I could but with grace, precision and intention; also to push my self to be in 100% energy level for as long as I can. She is however equally as masterful and graceful at the slow, emotional moments; such delicate and graceful phrases. I'm so lucky I'm alive to see her play. Such a privilege.

That she defined those 3 for you is her true gift for the people of her craft like you. You know it cause you hear it. This is what Mike Oldfield's, Paco de Lucia's and Wes Montgomery's guitarwork does for me (and Joe Pass's doesn't). To me, she's a spiritual granddaughter of Oscar Peterson's.

I lived for a couple years in Brooklyn, in the Columbia Street waterfront neighborhood. Our apartment was a couple blocks away from the Brooklyn Queens Expressway. Fortunately it ran underground so there wasn’t much highway noise. We called it “the trench” and we walked across an overpass everyday to get to the F train. Her “BQE” captures the essence of the city perfectly: Sophisticated to be sure, but a bit frenetic at times.

I’ve seen a few of her individual performances and seen all of the technical skill. What makes this concert more enjoyable for me is this is the first time I’ve been able to see her with emotive qualities. That she pours her emotion into the pieces. That puts her above those, and I’m especially saying the younger children marked as geniuses out there who play with incredible technical proficiency, but lack the emotive qualities that take more time to develop. She’s got it all. And this is what I enjoy about any musician. Not only has the technical skill, but you can feel with them the emotion as they pour it out from within themselves onto the instruments they play.

It wasn't as overpowering as the current band with Anthony Jackson.
