Hiromi - Silver Lining Suite 2LP (Limited Edition, 45 RPM)

Double vinyl LP pressing. Hiromi's latest album, Silver Lining Suite, pairs her virtuosic and emotive piano with a string quartet assembled by violinist Tatsuo Nishie, concertmaster of the New Japan Philharmonic. Devised for a series of livestream concerts at the Blue Note Tokyo during the COVID-19 pandemic, the results blur the lines between classical music and jazz, crafting a vibrant hybrid possessed of the fervent, rock-inspired energy and cinematic beauty that Hiromi has always instilled in her music.
