Biography

Since the release of Another Mind, Hiromi Uehara’s 2003 debut on Telarc, a division of Concord Music Group, the Japanese keyboardist-composer has electrified audiences and critics on both hemispheres with a creative energy that defies the conventional parameters of jazz and pushes musicianship and composition to unprecedented levels of complexity and sophistication.

The initial buzz – critical and… Read more in Amazon's Hiromi Store

5.0 out of 5 stars so interesting, January 30, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Place to Be (Audio CD)
I bought this album after listening to it on [...] Personally, I love it. I am not a huge fan of what I call 'unstructured' music, but I find this music brings just enough structure to make it work for me. Meaning there is an underlying structured beat or rhythm to most of it that I really enjoy, while still retaining that chaotic jazz feel, if that makes any sense. I am listening as I type through my surround sound system. Her Pachelbel's Canon track is really unique.

5.0 out of 5 stars She is even better live in concert, February 27, 2010
This review is from: Place to Be (Audio CD)
If I had to catagorize Hiromi I would place her somewhere between Chick Corea and Gonzalo Rubalcaba. But what really sets her apart from other contemporary pianists is her ability to frustate anyone who attempts to place her in a pigeon hole. She is so emotionally connected with her music that she cries when she plays the title track "Place to Be" on the bonus DVD included with the Japanese import version of Place To Be.

Hiromi's "Place to Be" is the theme song to a lovely but sad Japanese movie entitled "Invitation From Cinema Orion" [Orion Za Kara No Shotaijo].

If you like her CDs you will love her live. Her concert DVDs are spectacular expessions of her wonderful talent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tremendous - worth listening to., August 31, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Place to Be (Audio CD)
If you're interested in the future of jazz, give Hiromi a listen to. Better yet - go to YouTube and search for a few of her video performances. This is a remarkable artist and she plays with such passion that it's a joy to hear. I'm going to be ordering more of her music and I think that anyone who loves jazz would be well served to give her a chance.

Truly fantastic.
