Talk:Hiromi Uehara

IQ?
What is her IQ? She must be at least a genius with the divine talent she has! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Giantrobotbrawl (talk • contribs) 02:21, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Recent Performances. June 12, 2010 Hiromi performed with Stanley Clarke (see) at the Jazz Kitchen in Indianapolis Indiana. The performance was nothing short of virtuousic genius played sentimentally at times, punctuated with explosive solo passages. Hiromi played her own arrangement of Sakura, the traditonal Japanese folk song. She explored passages reminiscent of Ahmand Jamal, Oscar Peterson, Thelonious Monk, and in a light hearted whimsical piece, gave the audience a taste of Jerry Lee Lewis. On several pieces, she traded licks brilliantly with Clarke in a classic answer ; response jazz improv style. The audience was thrilled, amazed, moved and delighted by her performance.

Name?
Can anyone give guidance to an English speaker on how to pronounce "Uehara"? --Blanchette (talk) 09:32, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Four syllables, keep the u and e separate. Rothorpe (talk) 12:21, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * You can hear Hiromi's name spoken by a Japanese presenter in the beginning of this performance of Green Tea Farm. Henrik Thiil Nielsen (talk) 12:14, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Information re 2019 tour deleted
I have taken the liberty to delete a couple of sentences towards the end of the body of the text. These dealt with Hiromi's 2019 tour. It was incorrectly stated that Simon Phillips and Anthony Jackson played with Hiromi in Manchester and London as part of that tour. Sadly Anthony Jackson suffered what was described as a serious medical emergency on or shortly after 30 June 2016. He has not toured with Hiromi since then. Substitute bass players on the remainder of the 2016 tour included Tiago Coimbra, Hadrien Feraud, and Jimmy Johnson. Hiromi's 2019 tour was in fact a solo tour. The "Bridgewater" that was mentioned in the now deleted passage is Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, while the church in London that was also noted as a venue is in fact Southwark Cathedral. These are just two out of some seventy venues covered on Hiromi's 2019 tour, and since they are neither more nor less important than the others, I have deleted the entire passage.
