Hiromi Uehara reached pop star status in Japan with her flamboyant style and dazzling piano playing. Her compositions, with titles like ‘Return of the Kung-Fu Champion’ and ‘Tom and Jerry Show’, betray influences that reach far beyond jazz. ‘I’m inspired by anyone who has big, big energy’, she explains. Recently her duet recording with Chick Corea was released on CD. ‘Stunningly talented… her brand of flash ivory tickling is jaw-dropping to behold’ (BBC).
