Hiromi Uehara 上原廣美在藝術節時, 來港表演。"Hiromi Sonicbloom - Time ControlThe new release by keyboardist Hiromi Uehara and her trio
doesn't fit easily into jazz categories. Electric and
high-propulsion at times, it aligns with aspects of fusion,
but shouldn't be limited by what that term has been burdened
with over the years. Hiromi's Sonicbloom is international in
its membership, with a Japanese leader, a Slovakian drummer
(Martin Valihora), and a British bassist (Tony Grey). They're
joined by guest guitarist Dave "Fuze" Fiuczynski (from
Screaming Headless Torsos, Lunar Crash, and other outfits),
and they recorded in--gasp--Nashville! Time is the thread that
runs through many of the compositions, and they successfully
bend its perception. From the multi-part "Time Out," which
finds one part bursting out of another like nesting dolls,
to the expansive tapestry of "Deep into the Night," which
feels like a part of the continuity that is always
blanketing half the earth, Hiromi and her compatriots go from
being as precise as a clock to as haunting as a memory to
as playful as a kitten (the wonderful "Time Flies" feels
like it was composed in honor of a cat's darting attentions).
