One of the most technically skilled jazz pianists of all time, Hiromi is also a very imaginative and enthusiastic improviser (usually wearing a big smile as she plays) and an underrated composer.
In 2021 she released the album Silver Lining Suite which featured her joined by a very active string quartet.
Blending together the sound of classical music with Hiromi’s own often-wild soloing, 11:49 PM from the suite covers several moods and themes, resulting in a memorable showcase for the pianist.
