An Amazing Piano Talent

Those who know me know that I am a Pandora junkie - mainly for the purpose of musical discovery. (If you don't know what Pandora is, you can read one of my posts from June of 2008... or just visit the site at Pandora.com).

Anyway, the number of new artists I've discovered on Pandora is vast - and one of the latest that I'm currently grooving on is Hiromi (http://www.hiromimusic.com/), a jazz pianist whose recordings and live performances are absolutely jaw dropping. Japanese-born Hiromi began studying piano at the age of six, later went on to write some jingles fro big Japanese companies like Nissan, and then wound up at Berklee School of Music, before becoming an international award-winning piano sensation. I discovered on Pandora after creating a Michel Camilo station - he is one of my favorites.

In the spirit of introducing other people to amazing music and performances out there, take a look (and listen) to one of Hiromi's original standards called, Love and Laughter from her Spiral album - and you can judge for yourself.
