Hiromi: “Pendulum”

In a recent interview, Rick Beato called Japanese jazz musician Hiromi “the most electrifying pianist alive.”

Regarding the fusion of influences which can be heard in her music, Hiromi explains,

I don’t want to put a name on my music. Other people can put a name on what I do. It’s just the union of what I’ve been listening to and what I’ve been learning. It has some elements of classical music, it has some rock, it has some jazz, but I don’t need to give it a name.

Pendulum comes from Hiromi’s thirteenth studio album, Out There, released earlier this year:
