Over more than 20 years as a recording artist, the jazz piano phenomenon Hiromi has shifted seamlessly from one spellbinding project to the next. In the process, she’s earned a reputation as one of the most explosive live performers in jazz history and a global ambassador for the art form. Her many triumphs include an NPR Tiny Desk Concert that has racked up over 2.5 million views; the opportunity to represent her native Japan with a performance at the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo; a 2024 win for Best Music Score for the animated feature film Blue Giant (Award of the Japanese Academy); and a Grammy Award for a collaboration with fusion hero Stanley Clarke. Her artistry is—to borrow a descriptor The New Yorker favored—“dazzling.”For her appearance at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Hiromi is promoting her new record with her Trio Project, reuniting with English drummer Simon Phillips (Jeff Beck, Judas Priest, Tears for Fears, Toto, and the Who). “It is always an amazing experience to be able to work with Simon,” says Hiromi. Joining them on stage is bassist James Genus (Herbie Hancock, Whitney Houston, Roy Haynes, Chick Corea, Daft Punk, SNL).
“One of the most remarkable pianists of the past half century.” —All Music Guide
