One of the first recordings that I experienced in the SACD format, was the recording Another Mind by the Japanese piano player Hiromi. This is a highly recommended recording and is one of those recordings that you can listen to over and over.
This is how she describes her music:
“I don’t want to put a name on my music. Other people can put a name on what I do. It’s just the union of what I’ve been listening to and what I’ve been learning. It has some elements of classical music, it has some rock, it has some jazz, but I don’t want to give it a name.” —Hiromi Uehara
It is with great excitement to hear that Hiromi is included in the line-up for the 2008 Cape Town International Jazz Festival.
When you go visit a music store again, give Hiromi a listen. You will not be disappointed.
