Bassist

Even as a teenager, she met Oscar Peterson and Chick Corea, two of the greatest jazz piano legends. The Japanese pianist Hiromi is one of a kind, a superstar not only in her homeland. Her musical ideas are inspired by classical music, fusion jazz and progressive rock. Over the course of her 20-year career, the virtuoso artist and Grammy winner has surprised her audiences time and again, without any trace of (sonic) routine creeping in. Her latest project is big on groove, and together with the fusion jazz band Sonicwonder, specifically founded for this occasion, she takes the listeners into fascinating sonic dream worlds in the program »SonicWonderland«. This is hard to top when it comes to playfulness and melodic inventiveness.
