First thing, Hiromi is an ABSOLUTE ROCK STAR!!!
I only discovered Hiromi by chance on YouTube early this year. It was her live performance of Desire with Anthony Jackson and Simon Phillips. Needless to say, it left an immediate and lasting impression on me and I was hooked from that point on. And wouldn't you know, the stars were in alignment with her touring this year. After seeing HIROMI live, all I can say is WOW!!! - but to the NTH degree. There are no words to aptly describe her artistry. HIROMI does not just play the piano, she IS the piano, a dancing joyous one at that. Just like Hendrix, she is a once in a lifetime gifted musician. I count myself so very fortunate to have the absolute privilege of witnessing her spellbinding performance alongside the equally talented members of PUBLIQuartet. An evening I shall never forget! Thank you for truly touching my soul.

I hope that this video will introduce more people to these wonderful musicians and give them even greater attention and recognition because they so deserve it!
