Utopia

Featuring the music of Hiromi
Duration: 13:20
July 6, 2025

Hiromi is a master, even a "monster," on piano and jazz keyboards. She can drop a fistful of notes, then reference a composer like Bach or Gershwin, then set up an R&B groove, seemingly in the blink of an eye. The most mesmerizing element of her performances is the joy she exhibits when collaborating with a partner or her band. Beginning 2023, the pianist hand-picked a backing trio, now called Hiromi’s Sonicwonder, that could effortlessly follow and enliven her adventures. On "Utopia," check out her interplay with bassist Hadrien Ferau, which—wait for it—builds steadily into an all-band vamp, guided by trumpeter Adam O'Farrill. After watching the video, you can read a review of the band in concert via Hiromi's Sonicwonder At SFJAZZ.
