(Concord)

Spark is pianist-composer Hiromi’s fantastic and latest artistic outing. The compositions deftly fuse classical, blues, rock and other sound embers into the varied original compositions. The dexterous keyboardist is joined again by bassist Anthony Jackson and drummer Simon Phillips in another freewheeling exploration of their talents. The music created is electrifying. Hiromi continues to challenge herself and stretch boundaries with each effort and this production is yet another great expedition on her creative journey.
