Hiromi’s Silver Lining Suite is astounding. This truly breathtaking and ferocious blend of jazz invention and classical composition is love at first listen. Highly, highly recommended by Stage and Cinema. (Click HERE for teaser video)

Ever since the 2003 release of her debut,  Another Mind,  Hiromi has electrified uss with a creative energy that encompasses and eclipses the boundaries of jazz, classical and pop, taking improvisation and composition to new heights of complexity and sophistication. On her new album, Silver Lining Suite, Hiromi further exemplifies her virtuosic hybridity and emotional range, finding strength and hope amidst the turmoil of the pandemic.

2020 was a year in which dark clouds gathered early and threatened never to dispel. Silver linings were hard to come by amidst the torrent of bad news, but  Hiromi  was  determined to find one. She found it on the stage of the Blue Note Tokyo, which she helped bring back to life after it was silenced by the pandemic. Dreaming of a quintet with piano and strings she composed  Silver Lining Suite, which finds hope in the most trying of times while exemplifying the exhausting range of emotions evoked by the world’s year in quarantine.
