Breathtaking displays of flat-out swing, funky grooving, and classical references, often all in the same piece.

Ever since the release of her 2003 debut Another Mind, pianist Hiromi has electrified audiences with a creative energy that encompasses and eclipses the boundaries of jazz, classical, and pop, taking improvisation and composition to new heights of complexity and sophistication. Now she changes tack again with her heaviest and funkiest album yet: Sonicwonderland. Hiromi recorded the album with her new funk fusion band Sonicwonder, an electrified quartet keyed on synthesizers and deep-in-the-pocket grooves and featuring Adam O’Farrill on trumpet, Hadrien Feraud on bass, and Gene Coye on drums.

Hiromi is a perennial favorite on DownBeat’s annual critics and readers polls, and she has performed at the world’s finest jazz festivals, including Montreux, Umbria, North Sea, Newport, and Monterey. Her work has been celebrated by the New York Times, NPR and NPR Music, and the Washington Post, among others, and she was a featured performer at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
