Anything she does in the trio of her Tony Grey (bass) and Martin Valihora (drums) is pure awesome. One of the greates rythem sections. Look up some live stuff from YouTube that chick is really something else to hear but to watch her performe is unbelievable. Tony Grey on those performances is so tight and inspiring to watch. Do some looking and listening. I would defiantly start on YouTube if you can. Kung Fu world championship is a great song to start a search.

The first bass player with her out of Berklee was Mitch Cohn. He's great (Waking Vision Trio) but I wouldn't call it 'prog.' |

If you like them, Brain is mostly the same band as on Spiral (but I don't like the songs quite as much) and Beyond Standard is the same band as on Time Control, just playing covers this time (but in a typical Hiromi fashion - ancient jazz standards or classical music transformed into 7/4 and stuff like that).
Her debut Another Mind is also worth getting, some fantastic drumming by Dave DiCenso on that one (you might know him from John Petrucci's solo album Suspended Animation).

Saw these guys last Friday, and they slayed.
I've been following Hiromi since Brain was released, and she just keeps getting better...and the energy and ideas keep flowing.
Also, Tony Grey is a monster of a player....but Anthony is iconic, you know?

| | | | "Brain" is terrific. "Kung Fu World Champion" and "Green Tea Farm" are both on that CD. The first sounds like Keith Emerson crossed with Ahmad Jamal, the second like Bill Evans.
Wonderful, endlessly inventive player with chops and talent to burn. Drop-dead gorgeous, too, IMO.
