For y’all who’s not Japanese, the host doubts if hiromi can play any song out theme that’s unheard of/simply any song. The host hums for a short while, and that beast played it out. Turns out “my way” is just another Frank Sinatra song that hiromi must have heard of; even if not, the chords are typical changes. But the improvisation is outta this world and she’s my idol❤ went all the way from Hong Kong to Paris to watch her❤
5係wor. The host was asking Hiromi to improvise the theme song of the show, which is "My way" from Frank Sinatra. But Hiromi couldnt remember the whole song, and they hummed the melody for her, and Hiromi caught the melody and improvised for them. So the host was joking that he helped Hiromi to improvise the song.
I'm a grown man and I gladly admit that Hiromi's other-worldly talent matched with her immense passion behind the piano has reduced me to tears on many an occasion.
:D Fellow musician. I wanna get better at the piano. I've played a little, and got my first-ever midi keyboard, Japanese too, Akai, MPK3 Mini, best seller of mini keyboards, in recent months. Growing up, I played a lot of clarinet, trumpet, sax, bongos and congos, steel drums, etc. :3 Very inspiring! Beautiful Asian lady! Super skilled and great energy! :3 🎹✊🔥🔥💯💯Arigato!
Being a jazz pianist (and any other instrument really) isn't only about being skilled at the instrument, you also have to excel in music theory and feel the music.
Well, she's almost 44 now. :-) I had the great pleasure of seeing her live, shortly after the start of the boom in her career, in a tiny venue on the coast south of San Francisco - maybe 100 people, mostly older, just wanting to see a "jazz concert". This was 2007 and she was in the early part of the "Time Control" tour. No small number left at intermission because there was an electric guitar, and they probably were not expecting such hard-hitting fusion. But, man, that group was incredible.
I always love, not just listening to Hiromi Uehara's piano playing but even just Watching how she gets so Raptured as she plays! She's such a joy to watch! The piano is truly an extention of her very soul.
Thank you for this comment. I never heard of her or the other two and you just took me down a rabbit hole that is mind blowing. The Trio Project. Wow. Bravo!
They have only seen a fraction of her power. Anyways, I've had the pleasure of seeing her perform live at the Meridian Centre in Toronto, Canada, back in November. Absolutely legendary.
She has tremendous skill and must certainly know how good she is - and yet she remains very modest. In addition to her obvious technical ability, I particularly appreciate her taste. It's exciting how you can tell from her face when she's completely immersed in her music here. The “Ay” close before the end is also very cuddly.
Interesting, I'm a classical musician and I don't really enjoy jazz, but her tone is something that resembles me of Glenn Gould's Bach, and I love it. She has insane control over her sound.
yes, her tone is simply perfect. kind of every time in, i guess, every concert. she played lots of classic stuff when she was young, but she went to berklee^^ she s technically perfect. a rarity in jazzpiano, definately.
I love Hiromi - easily my favourite pianist. Gould - I dunno. I never heard it like other's do, it doesn't move me. What do you like about it especially?

had the pleasure of seeing hiromi in concert when i was so young...she will always remain my favourite pianist simply because of her immense passion for the instrument
My lower jaw always threatening to separate from my head whenever I hear these extraordinary sounds. Unbelievable talent and energy behind her playing! To say I am in awe of her prowess would be a gross understatement. Simply wonderful!
Damn the way everyone shuts up after she gets into her groove… even as a third person viewing a video, I had to take a moment to just watch the artistry flowing out of her. Can’t imagine what it must’ve been like being next to that
A few years ago, Hiromi played at a small restaurant in North Carolina. (I have no idea why.) Our table was right next to her piano. I could reach over and touch it! Now that's what I call a front row seat. Fantastic evening and she even had her photo taken with me when I bought a couple CDs. Lovely lady and a truly gifted musician and composer.
I saw Hiromi twice with "The Trio Project" which were two of the best concerts that I've ever attended. I'd describe her as a cross between Vladimir Horowitz, McCoy Tyner, and Jerry Lee Lewis!
I've heard that a special day is coming so i would like to say ," Happy Special Birthday Hiromi " May Always touch the hearts of many, open the eyes of Blind to vision the beautiful notes you bring return the deaf the sound of joy and even though many cannot hear the melodies of your music they can sense the vibe you bring your gestures expressions says it all, Hiromi you got that Vibe! Thank You!
Watching her play brings tears to my eyes. She enjoys what she does and puts her soul into it. She does things with a piano that tickle me in ways I didn't know could be tickled XD
I think she's playing a super jazzy version of a french song called "Comme d'Habitude" (meaning "As usual") from Claude François and Jacques Revaux. (and not "My Way" as a lot of you are saying ^^ "My Way" is the american "cover")
never heard of her, and with eyes closed it sounds great. but seeing her, a japanese woman, get down and dirty with her body swaying around the keys, shoulders moving back and forth...what a sight. I'm so used to seeing Japanese musicians playing with stiffness or uncanny smiles. love the transcription too. Great way ti learn how to make simple changes into something more beautiful. 😮
That was truly amazing awesome I'm glad that I saw it with my own eyes. She's Absolutely talented. A Diamond in the rough. But there's another the two should meet.
Ahhh she is amazing! I'm so glad my friend introduced me to her music. By the way, can anyone tell me who the hosts are? I think I recognize them from Gaki no Tsukai, but I'm not 100% sure. Not in the main cast, of Cody. Just various segments.
I see Hiromi once, and after the show she walked past me to get to the autograph table. I was surprised at how small she is. She’s a tiny lady but also a prophet of music and must be protected at all costs.
@Karl with a K maybe, what OP meant is......... when you see a performer (not only musician), you feel his/her aura, his/her presence, and an amazing performer has great aura you just sink in his/her performance. So, when you see that performer *not* in performance stage, sometimes it surprised you that s/he is smaller than you thought when s/he was on stage. Also, small cute things invoke protective instict (for some ppl).

@@yeahyeahnatnat But she didn't improvise on "My Way" - she improvised on "But Not for Me"?
@@simonmowatt like hitomi said, she cant rmb the song. The theme song of that show is definitely My Way. And those hosts just cant tell ;)
Japanese TV is weird. They must feel weird watching our tv too.
Wow that s amazing, i thought why re they so shocked
I'm a grown man and I gladly admit that Hiromi's other-worldly talent matched with her immense passion behind the piano has reduced me to tears on many an occasion.
same bro
Where else have you seen her on-line? I ask because after this 90 sec sample, I *need* to hear and watch more of her playing. TIA.
@@clickster1883 Hiromi Uehara. she has countless videos, she played Spain with Chick Corea. her other live performances are awe-inspiring.
@@proberush Very cool. Thanks very much. I’ll be looking her up. Have a good one!
@@clickster1883 I highly recommend her albums as well, I've only ever found them on CD
Hiromi is just out of this world! So happy I had the chance to see her live do her thing!
Seconded. One of the best gigs I've been in my life. Hopefully will see her again soon

A true jazz musician. So wise, so expressive. You can hear all the greats in her soul; Art, Oscar, Erroll to name a few.
I hear a LOT of Oscar, especially with the light touch.
Being a jazz pianist (and any other instrument really) isn't only about being skilled at the instrument, you also have to excel in music theory and feel the music.
She is a genius, and so young! We are blessed that her talents should be around for a long time!!

@@bouledeberlin8741 No problem, since I'm 59. 🙂
@@johnmerlino581 Was that at the Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society?
@@soaringvulture Indeed it was.
Hiromi is just amazing. The plot/softness/escalation/ratios... Her songs are amazing...
I always love, not just listening to Hiromi Uehara's piano playing but even just Watching how she gets so Raptured as she plays! She's such a joy to watch! The piano is truly an extention of her very soul.
I like how you can hear her smiling through the piano
Her improvisation is amazing, but it’s the beautiful pianissimo tone that impresses me the most 🤯😭😍
I agree. The soft parts are really tugging at emotions.
is it improve? i could have sworn the progression rings familiar in my ear; i just can't place where... is there anyone that can answer my question???
@@mischiefartworks "My way" Frank Sinatra
@@cathygao4038 Pardon, but this is not Yuja (Wang) but Hiromi, and she is as much Jazz musician as it gets.
@@andreascarl9636 Oh my I'm so sorry, I found this video while binging Yuja's interviews so I automatically thought this is her
She still makes me tear up when I see and hear her. Incredible.
Saw Hiromi with Simon Phillips (drums) and Anthony Jackson (bass), it was easily one of the most impressive concerts I've ever witnessed.
Same here!
Thank you for this comment. I never heard of her or the other two and you just took me down a rabbit hole that is mind blowing. The Trio Project. Wow. Bravo!
was anthony having a bass induced stroke when you saw him?
i still prefer her sonicbloom and the trio with martin valihora on drums...@@runnergo1398
Ive seen her live in Romania and i just have to tell its one of my favorite experiences as a musician, it was truly a blessing
I’ve seen her in Romania, too. I even got her autograph.
They have only seen a fraction of her power. Anyways, I've had the pleasure of seeing her perform live at the Meridian Centre in Toronto, Canada, back in November. Absolutely legendary.
Me too!! That was such an amazing experience
I missed it :( didn't even know about it till two weeks after she passed through!
@@calmic75 :( Beautiful lighting complementing pieces from her _Spectrum_ album. The Meridian Centre itself is a beautiful venue.
@@calmic75 all good, that was me with perlman :')
Best part for me is, somehow, that supercute "Ayyy" at the end. 🙂
My wife and I saw her live in Salt Lake City about a decade ago. Truly an incredible jazz musician!
I really just love how much fun she's having playing, her performances are saturated in the feeling of it.
The way she ended that was so understated and yet so brilliant, can't stop rewatching that part
She has tremendous skill and must certainly know how good she is - and yet she remains very modest. In addition to her obvious technical ability, I particularly appreciate her taste. It's exciting how you can tell from her face when she's completely immersed in her music here. The “Ay” close before the end is also very cuddly.
And she's always got a smile when she plays. It's as if she loves what she's doing!
Hiromi is so incredible. Every single time I come across something she's done I am completely floored.
Interesting, I'm a classical musician and I don't really enjoy jazz, but her tone is something that resembles me of Glenn Gould's Bach, and I love it. She has insane control over her sound.
This legit made me want to learn to improv jazz.
yes, her tone is simply perfect. kind of every time in, i guess, every concert. she played lots of classic stuff when she was young, but she went to berklee^^
she s technically perfect. a rarity in jazzpiano, definately.
I love Hiromi - easily my favourite pianist. Gould - I dunno. I never heard it like other's do, it doesn't move me. What do you like about it especially?
I used to be a classical guy.
Now I'm a classical guy who can be jazzy too
I love that she is so happy to entertain, but so modest.
She's so wonderful it makes me cry.
Her joy is SO CONTAGIOUS 🥰
the dynamics in measure 48 just knock me over every single time. Incredible
Hiromi the musical genius, always a treat to listen to her play and watch her trance out
She definitely does it "Her Way".
It would indeed be a great day in living to experience a gig with this extraordinary interpreter playing at it.

I've been ever so lucky to see her play with Edmar Castaneda in Stockholm. Such a gorgeous and entrancing performance.
I saw them together at the Montreal Jazz Festival in Canada, and it was amazing.
My lower jaw always threatening to separate from my head whenever I hear these extraordinary sounds. Unbelievable talent and energy behind her playing! To say I am in awe of her prowess would be a gross understatement. Simply wonderful!
holy shit.. she is just something else man. What spectacular playing. Im in awe
Damn the way everyone shuts up after she gets into her groove… even as a third person viewing a video, I had to take a moment to just watch the artistry flowing out of her. Can’t imagine what it must’ve been like being next to that
Hiromi is so insanely good and she is always having a good time!
1:19 - she was totally having a blast and the next section of the music was soo groovy 😍😍😍😍👌👌👍👍

Now that's what I call a front row seat. Fantastic evening and she even had her photo taken with me when I bought a couple CDs. Lovely lady and a truly gifted musician and composer.
Hiromi is simply outstanding. Virtuoso may not be a strong enough word for her. I became an instant fan the first time I heard her.
Hiromi brings so much joy in her playing! Thank you for the transcription!!
I saw Hiromi twice with "The Trio Project" which were two of the best concerts that I've ever attended. I'd describe her as a cross between Vladimir Horowitz, McCoy Tyner, and Jerry Lee Lewis!
Hiromi is a musical genius. I've traveled hundreds of miles to see her live concerts. Nothing is more exciting!
Hiromi is one of the best to ever sit down to a piano. Hiromi, Steve Smith and Anthony Jackson. That trio was fire!
Hiromi is such a beautiful soul
What I love about her, is her influences shine through, even though her own voice is so unique.
And the trio project... mwaaaaaaaaaaaah!
I've heard that a special day is coming so i would like to say ," Happy Special Birthday Hiromi " May Always touch the hearts of many, open the eyes of Blind to vision the beautiful notes you bring return the deaf the sound of joy and even though many cannot hear the melodies of your music they can sense the vibe you bring your gestures expressions says it all, Hiromi you got that Vibe! Thank You!
She's so good!
Wow, I've never heard her before. She's a virtuoso and the improv is sublime.
Song is: My Way made famous by Sinatra
"my way" is a cover of the french song "Comme d'habitude" made famous in France by Claude François 2 years before it was made famous by Sinatra
Watching her play brings tears to my eyes. She enjoys what she does and puts her soul into it. She does things with a piano that tickle me in ways I didn't know could be tickled XD
There's no mistaking that crazy grin while she is playing!
Even a trained musician had a hard time transcribing her playing. Wow
Hiromi is a piano genius, no doubt. Some of her work on the Trio Project is some of my all time favorites, extraordinary stuff.
Yep. She's a piano genius. Check out her videos. What's striking is she always has a look of pure joy on her face when she plays.
I think she's playing a super jazzy version of a french song called "Comme d'Habitude" (meaning "As usual") from Claude François and Jacques Revaux. (and not "My Way" as a lot of you are saying ^^ "My Way" is the american "cover")
One of the best jazz pianist, Hiromi~~~
Wish if she could re-live Anthony Jackson and Simon Phillips Trio
valihora on drums was better.
And she did it Her Way! Beautiful on all levels.
She was amazing!! I could listen to her play all day!!
I've seen her live in november. it was just incredibly awesome
Reminds me of Johnny Costa: very chill and stylized. Brilliant jazz pianist!
it isn't a genius level, it is a goddess level
This is just a little tease, scratching the surface. Hiromi is a monster.
Genius is an understatement for Hiromi
She's always having the time of her life when she plays
good lord, thats one hell of a creative, multi faceted tour de force that she hands out there. nice!
You could say she has her own, unique interpretation of this song.
not often you see the face of pure aww great video if any of this is rehearsed I would be impressed at their acting
The song is Comme D'habitude for those who are wondering
Seeing her live was unlike anything I've experienced
never heard of her, and with eyes closed it sounds great. but seeing her, a japanese woman, get down and dirty with her body swaying around the keys, shoulders moving back and forth...what a sight. I'm so used to seeing Japanese musicians playing with stiffness or uncanny smiles.

later in the show she had to fit through a piano-shaped hole in a wall coming towards her
Hiromi is just incredible
Hiromi is an amazing talent!!!
Beautiful! Thanks, Timothy.
Hiromi-san is really gifted and clean.
I love this so much
I don’t
Absolutely love Hiromi
She did it her way 😎
hiromi is her own level of piano insanity
and she is even better than her own level.
Quantum Entanglement of sound, at its best with a piano. Does not get any better!

Love how the host goes from talking all the time to respectfull silence.
