Hiromi Uehara has been heralded as one of the brightest new lights on the piano jazz landscape since the release of 'Another Mind', her 2003 debut recording on Telarc. Six years and four critically acclaimed albums later, she has not only lived up to the initial praise for her early efforts but surpassed it entirely - thanks in large part to live performances that spotlight her boundless talent, energy and artistic vision. 'Hiromi Live in Concert' features the pianist in a trio setting, accompanied by bassist Tony Gray and drummer Martin Valihora. Recorded at the Shinagawa Stellar Ball in Tokyo in December 2005, the DVD captures the playful yet masterful dynamics between Hiromi and her two highly talented sidemen. Throughout the ninety-minute presentation, the trio derives its creative energy from a constant give-and-take of technical precision and raw enthusiasm. The results are sometimes passionate, sometimes playful, but always compelling.
