Title: Hiromi- master of the groove.
Review: Hiromi has perfected the trio setting and its potential. She offically has transcended the jazz category. She can mutate any groove in any imaginable way possible, and can also write strict note for note compositions. On this disc more than her other 2, the boundary of what is improvised and written often just flows out and into one another, warranting that each song should be evaluated in its entirety, not in solos.I disliked that she played out of the harmony so much on this disc, but I can also appreciate how she makes the keyboard/piano almost talk...Her music is moving, academic, and danceable.To watch her on DVD is also very inspiring, ecspecially to piano players.Hiromi has a very powerful spirit, and it shows. Buy this disc.
