Hiromi is on tour right now, I got to see her and meet her at a small club in San Diego, stayed for both sets, and was totally amazed. I asked her if she was Art Tatum reincarnated, and she laughed.
Sonic Bloom, her band, was not so chipper. They're breaking up as she is moving on to deeper waters. I'm going to try to see her again in SF playing with Stanley Clark, and or solo at an Asian jazz festival.
She did three solo encores in San Diego, including the I've got rhythm Gershwin piece...absolutely stunning!
She's been acknowledged as a prodigy by no less than Chick Corea, Ahmad Jamal, and even Oscar Peterson, and I don't think she's even 30 yet!
If you get a chance to see her in a small venue, jump on it. By the way, most of the people in the San Diego club were Japanese. She's HUGE back home.
She has two great DVD's that just came out covering solo and Sonic Bloom works.
