she's so disarmingly humble.
Anyone who fears for the future of jazz music should rest easy: look to phenomenal, energized, gifted artists like Hiromi Uehara and.. bassist Esperanza Spalding. Some incredible talent out there, bringing a great 'juice' for the coming generations. And best of all, Hiromi knows the 'old guard'..she mentions both Oscar Peterson, and Errol Garner. She tips her hat to them, then picks up the torch and carries it forward. What a talent!!
Cynthia Hawkins My feelings exactly. So proud of the youthful musicians and their creativity. Who knew jazz could be expressed in such new and interesting ways.
+Cynthia Hawkins I agree! Thanks to overseas Jazz fans, too, for helping keep the genre alive. The best artists know and acknowledge those who came before them, and can't help but integrate a little of them in their own work. At times I hear everyone from Peterson/Garner to Scott Joplin, to Chick Corea, to Ray Charles to Zappa to (don't laugh) just a pinch of Chico Marx (watch a clip or 2 of Chico: Hiromi's only pianist that seems to enjoy herself more than Chico)
You guys should check out "Chon"... they mention her as a source of inspiration
You hit the nail on the head, Cynthia. All the jazz afficianados and torch carrier worriers like Marsalis can now rest easy. She SINGLE HANDEDLY could carry the genre for a while. :D
Shhhhh....keep Chico a secret. Nobody knows. ;)
Her arrangement of Pachelbel canon is the best I've ever heard in my whole life! She's awesome.
She really is an incredible improviser which is what makes her so special.
It is 2022 and I am still watching this. THANK YOU for the love you shared!
The first time I heard her . . . before the tune ended, it was evident that she possessed the same joy as her music. She spreads the joy and it's returned to her, multiplied.
she's so calm more than I thought through her plaing.
and so lovely, honest, pure.
She is very calm when she plays as well. Its just the speed and passion that makes you think she isnt
She said on her 1st CD her early teacher ask her to play a color!!
What a fantastic way to learn music,She's Unique,as are we all,She doesn't need lyrics,Her uniqueness shines through her compositions and playing well enough to compensate without lyrics,and make a statement beyond lyrics that delve to the depths of the soul!!Love her song'Take me away'!!
They smoked good shit back then
An elegant and insightful artist, a pleasure to listen to and hear playing too!
She is an amazing artist and beautiful person. Thank you for your contribution to humanity.
Hiromi is the Queen of Jazz.
Man, one of the great musicians of our time, classically trained and mentored by Ahmad Jamal , add to that boundless energy....she's from another planet!
Dear Hiromi,
Just like Martha Argerich wrote to you on "that envelope", you are incredible in every way. - and you award incredible joy to all those fortunate to hear your sounds
"Absolutely fantastic and extraordinary in every way". Spot on!
OMG so down to earth! Love her even more now.
Really nice video of my favorite composer and musician and one of my favorite persons in the world. What a lovely, talented, and passionate human being!
1953nagarjuna Yes."Lovely person." Just what I wanted to say.
an extraordinary pianist and musician.
Beautiful. In so many ways.
She's an awesome Musician/Artist.
Terrific interview.
A astonishingly talented,lovely person.The more of her CD's I buy,the more I want to buy.Hope to see her live,when this crummy lockdown is over,maybe even meet her too!
If the future of jazz is female,that'll be alright with me.You've got to have big love for Hiromi..
You encourage me not to give up Hiromi bit to strive for excelence bless you!
I love her so much~!
You are a fantastic person my friend.
*So talented man🤘🏿🖤❤️*
Not just to listen , to watch also ! 🎉
Humanity doesn’t deserve this gift. She’s a gift to the world. The perfect definition of an artist doing exactly what she was born to do.
Lovely Artist. Thoughtful and full of Life’s Energy
i practice to your music its so delightful and I saw you in NJ you are truly a PRODIGY
Wow, talented and gorgeous.
I LOVE HIROMI
...then again, who doesn't...?
I saw her first haha.
Awesome piano player.
...and damn cute ;-)
Merci hiromi
virtuoso pianist one of the best world wide berklee graduate ,
3:55 You still can't Hiromi
One of THE great classical pianists of our time is Valentina Lisitsa. But that's maybe for when you are feeling kind of serious : ) When you want to break out of the ordinary and experience a FANTASTICALLY creative and fun time, THIS is your girl! Hiromi is easily one of the most creative, lyrical and beautifully energetic pianists on the PLANET. A true musical GENIUS. LOVE HER!!!
I agree totally with you . She has moved on from the norm but she’s left the door open for us to follow . Cheers pal .
I wouldn't call Valentina Lisitsa one of the greats but anyway everyone has their opinion
New video!!
. . . " I just feel like I've got so many friends in the house . . ." Yes, she does have a lot of friends in the house.
It's really contrast to her performance. She is really mature lady. In her performance it's like she is the crazy mouse dancing on the piano.
+Warat Tongbunsing I think she practices what she preaches: she is a thoughtful, humble and maybe a little introverted person who lets the music speak for her. And what a story it tells!
Hahahahahaha!!
Bom demais!
What Is the name of the 2nd song in the background?
No worries
"His friend happened to be Ahmad Jamal"
MY GOD.
BTW my sister has been a musician and arranger for some years. She was invited, years ago to JAKARTA JAZZ FEST, in Indonesia. (!!?) There's a Blue Note Club there. When she got there and started playing, then meeting people...she was stunned by the younger patrons of the club - their real knowledge of American jazz, and their love for it. One guy came n and started talking about Chet Baker - and he really knew his stuff!! This really boosts my confidence in the future of this form of music, and also..the way artists like Hiromi and Spalding add touches of their own as the art moves forward. Cool!!!
+Cynthia Hawkins Glad there's something young people around the world can admire about American culture.
+Cynthia Hawkins Nice you mention Spalding as well. Both are 2 of my favourite musicians
How is she doing now?
머리 푸니까 귀엽다..
At 3:14 she said the two magic words; Frank Zappa!
+Endezeichen Grimm Yes she did. Within a 30 seconds of that she said four more very magic words, .... all kinds of music. (Yes, Frank was a master musician/composer)
Therefore, she is hip.
definitely an interesting sextet of composers she cites & it's great to hear her casual inclusion of Frank as part of her canon. it'd sure be entertaining to hear her take on some of his piano-based compositions (in both senses of "take"; what she thinks through them & how she might approach the playing of them). think she could do something intriguing with a Conlon Nancarrow score as a basis for improvisation?!

She is more confident when she speaks english nowadays.
Hiromi?
Wow I'm surprised she speaks English so well
+Brandon H well, she did go to school in Boston.
English is very easy to learn. It's the easiest language I know.
German (1st) / English / French / Italian / Spanish.
English is quickly learned up to the level of everyday conversation or reading a novel. Of course we make mistakes but on the whole English is quite simple. That's the reason why so many people worldwide are able to speak it . English gets difficult on the level above literature. In many languages conjugation is the most difficult part but in English conjugation is non-existent: I wrote, you wrote , he wrote, we wrote, they wrote ... can't get any simpler. Try that in Spanish :-)
+Sven Lima if you're gonna use that as a basis for how difficult a language is to speak, what about chinese? wo xie, ni xie, ta xie ..
Pretty sure we started out talking about Hiromi's music, not the relative
ease or difficulty of learning English. Just saying...
funny she mentions oscar, maybe that is why her hands so fast
ညီမချစိတယ်
Now she looks normal here, not like when she performs when she looks like she's high on something. Even speaks great english. Wow. Bravo girl.
Like many entertainers, she puts on a persona when performing. But her on and off stage personas are both delightful.
i love hiromi!
but yamaha, how could you be so amateur and have that electric wires on the screen? ruined an amazing composicion.
It gave the composition some balance. And, Hiromi plays electric and electronic instruments, too.
it's just cheating that all japanese females are cute
Patrick Mao Hiromi is so cute tho
I LOVE HIROMI
