LIVE: Hiromi/ Postma/Allen/Herman (Barbican)

Hey, last Saturday we had another great show provided by a trio of up-and-coming jazz musicisans a their Barbican debut.
I am talking about Hiromi + Yaron Herman Trio + Tineke Postma Quartet for the few of you that still don't know...

Here is a very cool review from LondonJazz (and if they say so, you'd better believe it!)

Hiromi is an explosive small package. She bounced onto the Barbican stage last night in a flowery summer dress, a pair of shiny black pedal-pushers, and silver trainers. Just turned 30, she affects the insouciant, elfin demeanour of a teenager. Her piano technique is ferocious, her musicianship is a highly variegated and developed craft. But she also knows precisely how to captivate the crowd with showmanship and mile-wide smiles, just like Earl Hines used to do. Plus she has the added advantages of astonishing energy and a dancer's physicality. Hiromi's joyously engaging solo set was the centre-piece of last night’s triple bill in the Barbican, part of the summer Blaze Festival, a co-promotion by the Barbican and Serious with support from Create09.
