Hiromi is one of the gift from God... She is the best piano player ever im not used to say that for any musician but with her appearance every time she drives me crazy!!! She has so many techniques in a small piece phrases, feelings , dynamics dear God!!!!
God couldn't make that. That was just pure emotion, spit out all over that keyboard. I am not sure many people can experience what just happened there, in that room, her and her keyboard. Time just paused for her, as it was astonished.
Perfect dynamics and clarity with absolute precision and mind boggling time and rhythm. All that while bringing a rounded colorful textured sound. Bravo!
@@everythingsawesome "That's generous. All I hear is virtuosic technique and no voice." haha im used to go to concerts if there is no pandemic times. i listened to medeski martin and wood, to aziza mustafah zadeh, to avishai cohen, i was able to hear E.S.T 15 years ago in Leverkusen, i have some stuff in my vita, listened to some stars, lots of local musician and if it comes to EXACTLY YOUR POINT: she is just miles above everything i ever heard. the expression was so intense ... holy shit. the best moment in my life, by far! not in classical music, not in jazz, not in anything. she is the pure emotion, the pure explosion, the unstoppable overwhelming queen on the keys. she might be an inconspicious person, but if she sits on a piano, she is the pure fire. she became standing ovations from her very first piece to the end. it was her tour with voice, simon philips and anthony jackson, not even her old combo, which i like more (much better drummer).
@@everythingsawesome who do you think has more voice in jazz piano? Hiromi is no Paul McCartney in melody writing, and her fingers are sometimes faster than her harmonic invention (unlike the unequalled Art Tatum), but as its title suggests this is an interesting composition in several moods that Hiromi executes with her usual verve. I can't wait to see her perform live again.
Been listening to Hiromi for quite some time. I always find myself head-banging to her songs at work. Funny how people then assume I listen to death metal 😂 phenomenal musician. Never grow tired of listening to her
1:40 I absolutely love this part, I don't know why but this is exactly what I might have expected when reading the title "Kaleidoscope". Beautiful piece !
How, for the entirety of that 9 minutes and 18 seconds, you were able to maintain such an unbelievably high degree of ferocity eludes me. This is a colossal piece which must have taken legendary levels of dedication to perfect. I'm so thrilled to have heard this piece, thank you for emobodying excellence.
I note that she has no SHEET MUSIC... so must alll be recorded in her MIND! Incredible! - She does this to all videos I have watched of her performances!
@@patriciodasilva7902 the beginning and reexposition are definitely not improvised. And she had a lot of work on it, I’m sure, this skill doesn’t came suddenly. But the improvised part is also mindblowing
Salve. Io ascolto musica da più di quarant'anni...sono un musicista, un batterista, per la precisione. Quello che suona questa ragazza, questa autentica divinità, è la summa totale di tutta la musica. Ogni volta che ascolto un pezzo mi sembra di non aver mai sentito niente di più bello in vita mia. In sincerità non ho parole per descrivere la bellezza di ciò che la sua musica mi trasmette. Spero venga ancora in Italia per poterla sentire. God bless you.....
Pures Gänsehautfeeling! Mein jazzverrückter Vater hatte sie als 90 Jähriger entdeckt und sie kurz vor seinem Tod mit Vorliebe gehört und ihre Videos mit mir geteilt, wofür ich ihm noch heute dankbar bin. Für mich eine der begnadetsten Pianistinnen/en!
I hadn’t listened to Hiromi for a while and I’m blown away. You conjure such fantastic worlds with your music! You are a treasure of humanity! I wouldnt be surprised if multidimensional beings had our galaxy and time bookmarked so they can come listen to one of the most amazing phenomena in the space-time continuum
@@eyalastanglov8309 yea aziza is great and she has some fantastic stuff, especially on always and dance of fire, but hiromi is the craziest, most various an with highest intensity
dont know what you are telling the world but yea its the most amazing part of this all in all so amazing peace. the way she ends this at 2:06 or something kills me. but she also does at 3:02 and so often in her life ...
To totally appreciate Hiromi, you have to watch her playing it, It's so joyful, she's so grooving to it. I just discovered her music, and it really speaks to me.
It really is an added touch to watch her play. She can be playful, serious, and oh so precious….she’s one of the best, she knows she is and it isn’t an ego thing. Going to see her in NYC @ the Blue Note with SonicWonder…can’t wait
I am so happy i saw Hiromi Live in Manchester. I hadn't actually heard of her previously until my friend invited me to her performance at Bridgewater hall. 3 months later i bought a new acoustic piano because i was that inspired. I think her works inspiring, and her technique is flawless
Such exciting music in world so flooded with the same old boring styles. Very refreshing. Haven't been this excited about a performer since that time in the 50s when I first saw Brubeck perform.
This is above most people can discern. It's precious, rare state when your existence + instrument + music + spirit + soul + universe become one thing. It's not judge-able, it's not describable, you can't touch it.
I'll never forget seeing her with Stanley Clarke. I had no idea who she was at that time and she absolutely stole the show. I've been a big fan ever since!
Exact same! I saw her with Stanley. Lark and Lenny White at Yoshi’s in Oakland; I also had no idea who she was at that time, but figured if those heavyweights are vouching for her (basically, half of Return To Forever), she must be good! I’ve seen her a few times since, and also chatted with her after a show - very nice in person! Would love to see her with Sonicbloom!
I am most envious! Still hoping to see her live one day. I would love to have seen her with Stanley Clarke and Lenny White! I would drop everything to see Sonicbloom too !
Such a talent. Always been a big fan of this ladies sheer brilliance and mastery at the keyboard. You’re only allowed to use the word prodigy in exceptional circumstances and this is one of them. The flow and control is other worldly..
I always come back to this video thinking “oh it’s nearly 10 minutes, I’ll watch a little”, and then zone out and get completely drawn in immediately once it starts
Hiromi is just consistently outstanding. The colours she evokes in her compositions are always awe-inspiring to me. Part of me can only imagine what sorcery a collab between her and Tigran Hamasyan would result in.
Pretty sure she did all music for the new anime film Blue Giant. There’s a ton of great stuff on that album especially since the anime is about jazz anyways
Breathtaking. Most impressive music I've ever heard. So Delicately and powerful played. A true kaleidoscopic experience. Thanks Tokyo Jazz, for sharing.
ひろみさんの演奏には、いつも物語性を感じます。
演奏の技法や創造性に、天から舞い降りた天才的なもの、神秘性すら感じます。
日本が誇る屈指の若手ジャズ演奏家で、誇りに思います。
これまでの実績は勿論の事、今後のご活躍を大いに期待しております。
It's hard to tell who's finding more joy in her performance more, Hiromi or us. It's everywhere now.
新美の巨人達から来ました。言葉を失うほど素晴らしい。
ジェットコースターに乗りながらオモチャ箱開けてるよう
カラフルでワクワクする音色が次々飛び出してくるの耳でを楽しみながら
感情はジェットコースターみたいに揺さぶられる。
this is my first time hearing Hiromi. i think i'm new to this universe. or at least there wasn't anything like this in the one I came from.
Welcome aboard ;) You should watch her live in Marciac, it's on youtube. Especially "Sicilian Blue" and "BQE".
That's my favorite live of her!
@@TheHazarium naa the old stuff with sonicbloom, the stuff like old castle, if... , love and laughter, wind song, summer rain ... everything^^
I AM NEW TOO. She saved me just before I got eaten by inertia made by the fact that Whole music nowadays make me bored
u gotta watch "Desire"
What are you listening before, Richard Claiderman?Liberace?
このあり得ない位に素晴らしいパフォーマンスよ永遠なれ、と、心底思います。同じ時代に生きられたことを心の底から感謝します。

I think this could easily be arranged into a metal song.
Edit: why did I say easily? Def not easily. It has the bones of a metal song.
She really rocks out on the piano!
コロナ禍、人前でピアノが弾けない
心底ピアノが弾きたいという爆発的なエネルギーを感じます 自宅のピアノでこんなにエネルギーを炸裂させるって本当にすごいことだと思います
同感です。
The whole time you can tell just how much fun She's having and how much She loves it, and that'a awesome.

ほんとこの人は一生かっこいい
This woman is unreal, i cant start to understand such a deep comprehension of music. really an explosive and deep performance.

This is a colossal piece which must have taken legendary levels of dedication to perfect. I'm so thrilled to have heard this piece, thank you for emobodying excellence.
And everything was created within her mind
I don't think she spent one minute 'learning it' I think it was pure improvisation. If so, and I feel pretty confident about that, it's amazing.
She has a lot of pieces like this and she plays all of it live non-stop. If only we could harness that energy... :D

So that's what Uehara means!
she makes it 250

Ich kann dem nur zustimmen! Habe sie im Mai diesen Jahres live gesehen. Absolut fantastisch!
I'll never have that kind of precision. Almost 40 years old and decades of performances later, and I'm still in awe.
Subarashii desu ne!
My mind is blown but i wish i could hear this with your ears
Hiromi is in my humble opinion a musical genius. So complex, creative and skillful. Always a Wow factor to watch.

The fact that Hiromi Uehara exists completely justifoes & validates Existence Itself. Miraculous, mysterious & phenomenal mastery!
すごい音楽を聴いて鳥肌が立つっていうのはこういう感覚なんですね。
I feel like we're playing completely different instruments when I compare myself to this. I swear there's something wrong with my piano

take a listen to Aziza Mustapha Zadeh
really no point in comparing. There is no best poet, musician, etc. All share the same cause.
she is. i know it since 10 years, since i sat in the front row in the middle in cologne ;)

It's not judge-able, it's not describable, you can't touch it.
It's being purely in "flow," or "in the zone," which is a state that someone as talented and experienced as Hiromi can summon up at will.
@@tedl7538 her flow is still something very very very, very very special
このコロナ時期だからでの演奏。密室で演奏テクニック充満。幸せです💛
こんなに楽しそうに演奏する人を他に知りません。
上原ひろみのこの楽曲を聞き終え、これがピアノのみで一人で演奏しているという事に気づくのに圧巻した感情と感動が続き、衝撃的な感覚を覚えた。彼女の小さく細い体の中からこんなに熱く、大きくはじけだす音の粒にすべての感性がうばわれてしまう。魂のひとつひとつをピアノの鍵盤に込めた熱い音が、心の奥深くにつきささる・・・音に込めた熱きメッセージの中に自分の心を永遠に満たされていたい・・・
Amazing as always, she hears and explores every musical avenue possible and never falters, just incredible sense of music.
I'll never forget seeing her with Stanley Clarke. I had no idea who she was at that time and she absolutely stole the show. I've been a big fan ever since!

That’s enough left hand to wipe out half of the universe. No infinity stones needed.
FIERCE GRACE!! All y'all look at this other worldly entity Chic Corea mentored and left for us as a gift...
I would love to see her compose and arrange a score for an anime, I’m definitely getting some Yoko Kanno vibes from this piece.
Give her an entire Studio Ghibli release to score. She’d create new genres

Captivating from start to end. I can't get enough of the way this makes me groove.
テレ東系「美の巨人たち」で使われているのはこの曲の中のほんの一部分だったとは…。
Creo que no hay otra pianista así !!!! Hiromi es lo más hermosa que escuche en mis 61 años, sin dudas
She bends music to her will and I am in awe
Jazz hands - each with a mind of its own. I’ve never seen anyone play jazz against themselves. Such a fantastic talent! ❤
I wish I had the aptitude to fully appreciate this as it could be.

Pure Genius! What a performance!
Fascinating harmonic twists and rhythms, virtuosic technique, delightful flair, remarkable musicianship and creativity, a joy to behold!!
When you can make so many melodies and interesting compositions out of thin air........
I was so glad i was reccomended your tiny desk because it allowed me to come back and find this absolute masterpiece. Absolutely wonderful.
When Hiromi leaves this plane of existence, if there is a god to meet, I am certain the first thing it will do is ask her for lessons.
Wonderful Hiromi!! Hugs from Brazil!!
I am completely amazed. This Is absolutely beyond wonderful. She's incredibile
What the most beautiful smile you share with your music Hiromi, thank you. So glad to have met you at yoshis
Absolutely stunning! Every note, from start to end!
