Description
Hiromi Uehara started learning classical piano at age six. She was introduced to jazz by her piano teacher Noriko Hakita when she was eight. At 14, she played with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. When she was 17, she met Chick Corea by chance in Tokyo, and was invited to play with him at his concert the next day. After being a jingle writer for a few years for Japanese companies such as Nissan, she enrolled to study at Berklee College of Music in Boston. There, she was mentored by Ahmad Jamal and had already signed with jazz label Telarc before her graduation.
Since her debut in 2003, Hiromi has toured the world and appeared in numerous jazz festivals. She performed live at the Newport Jazz Festival in 2009, and at the Paris Olympia in Paris in 2010, and toured in the summer of 2010 with the Stanley Clarke Band. On the 26th of May she brings her unique brand of post-bop, progressive rock, classical, and fusion to Guangzhou.
