Hiromi Uehara at the Montreal Jazz Festival Théâtre Maisonneuve!

Hi everyone Just a quick note about Hiromi. She’ll be playing in Ottawa on June 21 outdoors, which will be a really fun festival atmosphere if you’d like to see her locally on the lawn. Summer evening, big stage, lots of energy — it’ll be a great vibe!
I’m going to keep my Montreal tickets. She’s playing at Théâtre Maisonneuve, which has beautiful acoustics, and I specifically chose seats where I can really hear the detail and nuance of the piano. Worth the little trip!
However you choose to see her, it’s going to be a fantastic show. ✨

Montreal show info:
Hey Note Lovers, it's Carolyn here. Come join us for High Octane Jazz fusion virtuoso pianist Hiromi Uehara in Montreal!

Ever since the 2003 release of her debut, Another Mind, Hiromi has
electrified audiences with a creative energy that encompasses &
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 & hope
amidst the turmoil of the pandemic. Born in Hamamatsu, Japan in 1979,
Hiromi's first piano teacher, Noriko Hikida, exposed Hiromi to jazz and
introduced her to the great pianists Erroll Garner and Oscar Peterson.
She enrolled in the Yamaha School of Music and started writing music.
Hiromi moved to the United States in 1999 and studied at the Berklee
College of Music in Boston.

Among her mentors was jazz bassist/arranger Richard Evans, who took Hiromi's demo to his friend, the legendary pianist Ahmad Jamal. Evans co-produced Another Mind with Jamal.

Another Mind was a critical success in North America and Japan, where
the album shipped gold and received the Recording Industry
Association of Japan's Jazz Album of the Year Award. Hiromi's
astonishing debut was but a forecast of the shape of jazz to come.
In 2009, she recorded with pianist Chick Corea on Duet, a live
recording of their concert in Tokyo. She also appeared on bassist
Stanley Clarke's Grammy-winning release, Jazz in the Garden.
In the summer of 2021, Hiromi performed at the opening ceremonies
of the Tokyo Olympics.
