cvii. HIROMI: I've Got Rhythm

cvii. HIROMI (1979-       )

I've Got Rhythm (2010)
Hiromi, piano
(8:56)

Who could ask for anything more?

Hiromi rips apart this great Gershwin tune, deconstructs it, plays stride like no one has since Art Tatum, and seems to be having joyous fun, like it's all a walk in the park.

She even riffs on Rhapsody in Blue at 7:23.

Technique is one thing, but musicality is always top priority. Hiromi has both in spades, and is one of those jaw-dropping, I-can't-believe-what-I-just-heard experiences.
