Product Description

BBC Music Magazine, (Barry Witherden), July 2008
(4 stars) Hiromi's delight in the music, the instrument and the group interplay is obvious and infectious...exuberant, empirical approach.

Jazzwise, (Andy Robson), July 2008
Hiromi displays her many virtues - warm, melodic, a lover of big fat chords...good fun, good energy...some boggling technique.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding jazz talent with excellent production, 20 May 2008
By Mr. J. Ford - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I got this album, Beyond standard, after hearing Hitomi play live. She is a tremendously energetic performer and whilst it is true the visual side of her performance is lost from the CD the playfulness, creativity and sheer talent of the whole band, but Hitomi in particular, shine through. The ability to switch tempo, beat, style, and dynamics is something that any "jazz head" will appreciate. Just listen to I've got Rhythm to hear a plethora of ideas that showcase this extraordinary talent. Naming this album Beyond Standard is an injustice to the talent on offer, something like Beyond Exceptional would be much more fitting. You owe it to yourself to add this to your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lively & exciting release from Ms Uehara, 13 Nov 2008
Beyond Standard

Japanese born keyboardist/pianist Hiromi Uehara and her group Sonicbloom release an album of exciting jazz titled Beyond Standard.

After the brief intro of the track "Softly As In Morning Sunshine" you are then catapulted into the full 7½ minutes of an uptempo and lively track.

"Clair De Lune" is a nice breezy track with some fine guitar playing which sits well with Ms Uehara's piano playing. The classic jazz standard "Caravan" is a given a fast paced twist again with Hiromi's exciting piano skills. "Ue Wo Muite Arukio" has a nice jazz-funk feel to it.

Another classic included is the song "My Favourite Things". Hiromi's playing is at the forefront but allows the rest of the trio to put their fine musicianship on this cover. "Led Boots" and "XYG" bring a nice mix of jazz, funk & rock to the album. The final track on the CD, "I've Got Rhythm" has Hiromi displaying her exciting and fast paced piano playing style.

With 8 of the 9 tracks ranging between 6 to 8 minutes Hiromi and her trio don't leave you short-changed! This is an excellent, enjoyable and lively jazz release. Highly recommended.
