Hiromi is an exceptionably talented pianist, with virtuosic skills that are absolutely out of this world. The ferocity of her playing creates an energy as if she is caught in a whirlwind of notes and just has to bash them al out before it is too late. Her music is completely electrifying, with a mind-blowing technique making her a formidable performer. At her performance at London's Cadogan Hall, she was joined by Anthony Jackson on contrabass guitar and UK drummer Simon Phillips, as part of her Hiromi Trio Project. It was a real tour-de-force of jazz, with blistering piano runs giving new pace to her songs. But her music also covered styles as diverse as blues, progressive rock, R & B and classical stylings, making for an eclectic display that really showcased Hiromi and her trio's talents. She played on her grand piano, as well as an electronic keyboard that sat above her, jumping between the two creating a wide, diverse timbre and dynamic experience for the audience. The drummer had a huge kit, certainly a long way from what earlier jazz drummers would have used but it certainly provided a dense rhythmic display that grounded Hiromi's pyrotechnics on the piano. She is a truly remarkable musician who must be seen to be believed.

Report as inappropriate

The performance of Hiromi, Anthony and Simon was spectacular! The emotion and joy that they express while they're playing is synonym of their quality as musicians and persons. What I like the most was the charisma of Hiromi. During the show I realized why I like her music; it is because she enjoys to play music and that enjoyment is transmitted through her notes. Hope she and company comes again to Mexico.

Hiromi has unique magic and talent in her heart, soul and fingers of course!

The show was quite intimate and emotional, fun and impressive.

Hiromi performed its lastest album "Spectrum" in its entirety.

We came from 500km for the show and we are very happy!

This petite pianist packs a powerhouse of energy on stage. A joy to listen to and a delightfully animated performer to watch. Accompanied by an accomplished rhythm section,she puts on a great show.

My first time seeing Hiromi was electric. SO much going on with this duet. I was emotionally attached fight from the start. It's is indescribable how good she is live.

Hiromi: Move: The Trio Project – live in tokyo

The dexterous pianist’s trio show japan how they move..

You can trust Louder Our experienced team has worked for some of the biggest brands in music. From testing headphones to reviewing albums, our experts aim to create reviews you can trust. Find out more about how we review.

A hugely talented jazz pianist and a firecracker performer on stage, Hiromi Uehara attended Boston’s Berklee College Of Music and made her debut for the Telarc label in 2003.

Since then she’s made a name for herself both on the festival circuit and with her nine albums to date, including this year’s Alive . Back in 2012 she toured to promote her intense and eclectic release Move , and here we find her at the Tokyo International Forum during that tour. Her trio is completed by two highly seasoned musicians, über-drummer Simon Phillips (Mike Oldfield, Toto) and six-string bass veteran Anthony Jackson (Chick Corea, Al Di Meola). Together they rocket through that jazz fusion album in its entirety, from the warp-speed-Bernstein title track, to the diverse three-part suite ( Reality , Fantasy and In Between ) and stunningly tricky closer 11.49. There’s no pyro lighting effects or even bonus features to distract you, but Hiromi’s music is so complex that it’s completely absorbing, and what an enlightening thrill it is to just watch these three connect, read each other’s cues and focus with laser-beam precision on creating this serious, heady fusion music. A good entry point into Hiromi’s dazzling musical world.

A music journalist for over 20 years, Grant writes regularly for titles including Prog, Classic Rock and Total Guitar, and his CV also includes stints as a radio producer/presenter and podcast host. His first book, 'Big Big Train - Between The Lines', is out now through Kingmaker Publishing.

Hiromi: The Trio Project | Yoshi's | Review

Article contributed by dylan muhlberg | published on wednesday, november 9, 2016.

Jazz music in always inherently evolving, while some players possess the sheer talent to spontaneously create dynamic music, less often does an artist utilize their abilities as a vessel to express emotions beyond their own familiarity. One could see pianist Hiromi Uehara and value her shear musical talent alone. More avid listeners know there’s more to it than that. Her music truly transcends emotion. The Japanese pianist began training at age six and by the time Hiromi moved to the U.S. in 1999, she was a student of Berklee College of Music in Boston. Veteran jazz bassist and arranger Richard Evans, a teacher of Hiromi’s at Berkelee, implored his colleague Ahmad Jamal (another piano legend of jazz) to take serious note of her abilities. Jamal embraced her alongside Evans, who would eventually co-produce her debut CD Another Mind. The celebrated jazz album brilliantly demonstrated Hiromi’s threshold for musical expression. The rest is history and Hiromi is a celebrated bandleader and side-lady to greats such as Stanley Clarke and Chick Corea. She is one of greatest cats of the 21 st Century.

In the second stint of Bay Area performances of 2016, the trio is finishing off their three-day stint at Yoshi’s Jazz Club in Oakland, California. Earlier this year they gigged at SF Jazz’s Minor Auditorium with Anthony Jackson. This month’s three-night, four show stint sold out weeks in advance. Yoshi’s has a reputation for bringing out the fire in the legendary acts that regularly grace the stage. The premier spot in Bay Area for Jazz is also a reputable Japanese/Sushi Restaurant and cocktail bar. The venue room, which holds a seated five hundred or so, is the club for an urban area conspicuously lacking in jazz clubs contemporarily. Grateful Web was humbled to be invited to the sold out Tuesday show. As the Trio took the stage, the whole room stood in awe, cell phones tucked away. The trio began with the rambunctiously melodic “Spark,” which was immediately revealing of the synchronic ESP between Simon Phillips and Hiromi. His years drumming in rock bands like The Who and Toto led him to exploring deeper in the jazz spectrum as a bandleader and featured sideman.

After introducing the trio and thanking the crowd they played another new tune. “Take Me Away,” passionately fired back and forth an arsenal of notes between Phillips and Hiromi before bridging in a classical fashion. Changes of pace and time blended together the beautiful mood-scape. The next song “Seeker” came from 2014’s acclaimed album Alive , which was further affirmation that this music was far more than simply a “project,” but a developing organism. Next came “Dilemma” which received a standing ovation for the expressive solo segments from each player.  Hiromi dug deeper into the Trio’s past from their first album together, Voice. “Haze” is the quintessential Trio expression, demanding both blissful dissonance and moments remaining interlinked through the breakneck changes of each stanza. These are not just master class improvisers, but cosmic theorists of melodic madness.

While The Trio Project is wrapping up it’s Oakland run with a late and early show tonight, fans can also catch Hiromi in Las Vegas on November 12 th at the University of Nevada tour ender before she heads back to Japan for a lengthy November/December international tour. Fans lucky enough to have witnessed the Trio with Feraud guesting were treated to the wildest trio working in jazz today.

Hiromi: The Trio Project

Japan has produced an impressive assemblage of jazz pianists, from Toshiko Akiyoshi and Makoto Ozone to Junko Onishi. And now, well into the change of the 21st century, the pianist/composer  Hiromi  is the latest in that line of amazing musicians. Ever since the 2003 release of her debut Telarc CD, Another Mind,  Hiromi  has electrified audiences and critics east and west, with a creative energy that encompasses and eclipses the boundaries of jazz, classical and pop parameters, taking improvisation and composition to new heights of complexity and sophistication. Her new CD, Spark , her tenth as a leader, features her critically acclaimed Trio Project, consisting of contrabass guitarist Anthony Jackson (Steely Dan, Paul Simon, Michel Camilo, The O’Jays and Chick Corea) and drummer Simon Phillips (Toto, The Who, Judas Priest, David Gilmour and Jack Bruce).

Born in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, Japan on March 26, 1979, Hiromi’s piano lessons started when she was six, and she performed her first recital at that age. Her first teacher, Noriko Hikida, encouraged her to access both the intuitive and technical aspects of music. “Her energy was always so high, and she was so emotional,” Hiromi says of Hikida. “When she wanted me to play with a certain kind of dynamics, she wouldn’t say it with technical terms. If the piece was something passionate, she would say, ‘Play red.’ Or if it was something mellow, she would say, ‘Play blue.’ I could really play from my heart that way, and not just from my ears.”

Hikida also exposed Hiromi to jazz and introduced her to the great pianists Erroll Garner and Oscar Peterson. She enrolled in the Yamaha School of Music at age six and started to write music at that time.

Hiromi moved to the United States in 1999, and she matriculated at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, which extended her artistic sensibilities. “It expanded so much the way I see music,” she says. “Some people dig jazz, some people dig classical music, some people dig rock. Everyone is so concerned about who they like. They always say, ‘This guy is the best,’ ‘No, this guy is the best.’ But I think everyone is great. I really don’t have barriers to any type of music. I could listen to everything from metal to classical music to anything else.”

Among her mentors at Berklee was the veteran jazz bassist/arranger Richard Evans, who teaches arranging and orchestration. It was Evans who took Hiromi’s demo tape to his friend and collaborator: the legendary pianist/bandleader Ahmad Jamal. “[Professor Evans] really liked how I played,” Hiromi fondly recalled. “And Ahmad loved the demo – I couldn’t believe it! He’s been very encouraging and supportive. He’s an amazing human being.”

Evans co-produced her debut CD, Another Mind, with Jamal, who has also taken a personal interest in Hiromi’s artistic development. “She is nothing short of amazing,” says Jamal. “Her music, together with her overwhelming charm and spirit, causes her to soar to unimaginable musical heights.” Another Mind was a critical success in North America and in her native Japan, where the album shipped gold (100,000 units) and received the Recording Industry Association of Japan’s (RIAJ) Jazz Album of the Year Award. Hiromi’s astonishing debut was but a forecast of the shape of jazz to come.

Her second release, Brain , won the Horizon Award at the 2004 Surround Music Awards, Swing Journal’s New Star Award, Jazz Life’s Gold Album, HMV Japan’s Best Japanese Jazz Album and the Japan Music Pen Club’s Japanese Artist Award (the JMPC is a classical/jazz journalists club). Brain was also named Album of the Year in Swing Journal’s 2005 Readers Poll. In 2006, Hiromi won Best Jazz Act at the Boston Music Awards and the Guinness Jazz Festival’s Rising Star Award. She also claimed Jazzman of the Year, Pianist of the Year and Album of the Year in Swing Journal’s Readers Poll for her 2006 release, Spiral. Hiromi’s winning streak continued with the release of Time Control in 2007 and Beyond Standard in 2008. Both releases featured Sonicbloom: her hand-picked group that included guitarist Dave “Fuze” Fiuczynski, bassist Tony Grey and drummer Martin Valihora.

Hiromi achieved a number of milestones in 2009. She recorded with pianist Chick Corea – who she met in Japan when she was seventeen on Duet, a two-disc live recording of their transcendent, transgenerational and transcultural duo concert in Tokyo. She also appeared on bassist Stanley Clarke’s Heads Up International release, Jazz in the Garden, which also featured former Chick Corea bandmate, drummer Lenny White.

In June of that same year, Hiromi simultaneously released two concert DVDs, both recorded in Tokyo: Hiromi Live in Concert (recorded in December 2005) and Hiromi’s Sonicbloom Live in Concert (recorded in December 2007). The former features the rhythm section of Grey and Valihora, while the latter includes Fiuczynski’s incendiary fretwork.

In 2010, Hiromi released Place to Be , an impressive and intimate solo piano CD; her evocative aural travelogue of the many places and spaces she visited around the world. “I wanted to record the sound of my twenties for archival purposes,” she says. “I felt like the people whom I met on the road during my twenties really helped me develop and mature as a musician and as a person. So in addition to making a record that represented all of these places that have inspired my music, I also wanted it to be a thank-you to those people.”

She followed up Place to Be with a DVD, Hiromi Solo Live at Blue Note New York . Recorded on August 20 and 21, 2010, at the Blue Note in New York City, the video includes 11 originals and a special bonus feature with interview clips and performance footage from some of Hiromi’s favorite cities around the world.

On her 2011 album, Voice , Hiromi’s goal was to capture people’s “inner voices” to create what she called a “three-dimensional sound.” On that album, she assembled a trio that included herself and two veteran players: contrabass guitarist Anthony Jackson and drummer Simon Phillips. While Hiromi had played with Jackson prior to recording Voice , she had never recorded an entire album with either him or Phillips, the latter who had been recommended to her by legendary bassist Stanley Clarke, a mutual acquaintance.

Also in 2011, The Stanley Clarke Band CD, featuring Hiromi, won the GRAMMY® Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Album.

While on the road, Hiromi started writing music for the follow-up CD, Move, released in 2013. “Because I had been playing with Anthony and Simon for quite a bit, I just started to understand their characteristics, and I could find a hidden gem in their playing,” she explains. “There’s so much more to their playing. As a composer, I really wanted to write the songs especially for them, and I wanted to extract the unique beauty of their playing.” Move, like Voice , had an overriding theme, which Hiromi describes as “time in one day.” “You wake up and go to work and then hang out,” she says. “The album is like a soundtrack for a day.” That same year, she had several impressive placements in DownBeat magazine’s 61st Annual International Critics Poll, in the Jazz Artist, Piano, Keyboard and Rising Star: Piano categories. In 2013, she performed at George Wein’s Newport Jazz Festival and also performed there for the festival’s sixtieth anniversary in 2014.

Alive, released in 2014, heralded the return of The Trio Project, featuring Jackson and Phillips. DownBeat magazine proclaimed the terrific triad as “one of the most exciting groups working in any genre today.” On Alive, Phillips’ powerful, yet poetic percussion and Jackson’s flowing, glow-in-the-dark basslines beautifully buoy and support Hiromi’s ingenious and impassioned improvisations. Her evocative and expansive compositions evoke the myriad moods and mysteries of life and reveal the soulful, syncopated simpatico of her thrilling threesome.

Spark is the latest chapter in Hiromi’s ever-evolving musical life. “I’m hungry to learn,” she told DownBeat magazine, “so I’ll always keep my big ears open fully, ready to learn every single minute that I play.”

Go beneath the streets on this tour of the spectacular, mind-bending Moscow Metro! Be awed by architecture and spot the Propaganda , then hear soviet stories from a local in the know. Finish it all up above ground, looking up to Stalins skyscrapers, and get the inside scoop on whats gone on behind those walls.

Know More about this tour

We begin our Moscow tour beneath the city, exploring the underground palace of the Moscow Metro. From the Square of Revolution station, famous for its huge statues of soviet people (an armed soldier, a farmer with a rooster, a warrior, and more), we’ll move onto some of the most significant stations, where impressive mosaics, columns, and chandeliers will boggle your eyes! Moreover, these stations reveal a big part of soviet reality — the walls depict plenty of Propaganda , with party leaders looking down from images on the walls. Your local guide will share personal stories of his/her family from USSR times, giving you insight into Russia’s complicated past and present. Then we’re coming back up to street level, where we’ll take a break and refuel with some Russian fast food: traditional pancakes, called bliny. And then, stomachs satiated, we are ready to move forward! We’ll take the eco-friendly electric trolleybus, with a route along the Moscow Garden Ring. Used mainly by Russian babushkas(grannies) during the day, the trolleybus hits peak hours in the mornings and evenings, when many locals use it going to and from their days. Our first stop will be the Aviator’s House, one of Stalin’s Seven Sisters, followed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs — and you’ll hear the legends of what has gone on inside the walls. Throughout your Moscow tour, you’ll learn curious facts from soviet history while seeing how Russia exists now, 25 years after the USSR.

This tour exceeded our expectations. Nikolai (Nick), our tour guide, was very knowledgeable, thorough, and has a great personality. He didn't take shortcuts and really covered everything that was on the agenda in great detail. We saw beautiful metro stations and learned the history behind them, including many of the murals and designs.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.
