Description
Later in the album, Hiromi offers a beautiful and contemplative solo-piano performance of Pendulum, which shes been including in her live sets for a couple of years now. What I really enjoy the most with solo piano is playing the softest dynamic that I can play, she explains. She loves to savor the sound of her instrument in this quietude, which also offers her audience a moment of rest following an especially pyrotechnic ensemble moment.
The finale of Hiromis new album is also OUT THEREs most delightful track: Balloon Pop, which is as much of an earworm as anything currently on the Hot 100. (And with OFarrill on trumpet, its hummable theme summons up Miles Davis hook-filled 80s recordings.)
And therein lies the secret to Hiromis monumental success her rare ability to deliver not only show-stopping virtuosity but also sheer joy. I love playing Balloon Pop, she says. Every audience goes home singing this lick well after the show has finished. The chord changes are challenging, but still it doesnt sound complicated. I just wanted to write some songs that are singable, danceable and fun. (via Label)
