An utterly original improviser and composer who turns each piece into a thrilling ride, Japanese-born pianist Hiromi returns with her powerful Trio Project, featuring electric bass master Anthony Jackson and drummer Simon Phillips, whose gaudy résumé includes stints with Brian Eno, Jeff Beck, Stanley Clarke, Toto, and The Who. The trio's new album, Alive, is the band’s most audacious to date – a record that, in the words of JazzTimes, “explodes out of the gate with even more velocity.” Don't wait, tickets are selling fast!
"the extravagantly dynamic pianist Hiromi Uehara pursues an aesthetic of hyper-dexterity with help from her regular partners, the bassist Anthony Jackson and the drummer Simon Phillips." — The New York Times
