I was first introduced to this classically trained Japanese piano phenom about five years ago while working as Program Host for the Evening Jazz Program at wncu.org.
I was intrigued by duet work with Chick Corea in Tokyo when
she was just 17.
They had a chance meeting, and Chick asked her to perform with him the very next night. She has also played with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra as a teen.

I first began playing Hiromi's tunes from her second CD, Beyond Standard(2008), in 2009.
Listen to the energy of her YouTube video performance at the 2011 Newport Jazz Festival, and enjoy.
