Description:

"Place To Be" on CD is an intimate and dazzling solo piano album by Japanese pianist and composer Hiromi, released on the renowned jazz label Telarc. The recording captures Hiromi alone at the piano, exploring a wide emotional and stylistic range: from lyrical, introspective pieces to rhythmically daring, virtuosic tracks overflowing with energy. Each composition feels like a "place" in her personal map of the world, reflecting impressions of cities, journeys and inner landscapes. The sound quality is warm, detailed and dynamic, allowing every nuance of her touch, from delicate pianissimo to explosive clusters, to shine clearly. This CD is ideal for listeners who appreciate modern jazz piano with strong melodic hooks, classical influences and an unmistakable personal voice - a work that invites repeated listening and reveals new details each time.

Hiromi (Hiromi Uehara) is one of the most celebrated contemporary jazz pianists of her generation. Known for her astonishing technique, genre-crossing compositions and electrifying live performances, she has won international acclaim through her solo work, her Trio Project and numerous collaborations with leading musicians. Her albums regularly top jazz charts worldwide, and she is a welcome guest at major festivals and concert halls. What sets Hiromi apart is her ability to combine the sophistication of classical music, the spontaneity of jazz and the drive of rock and fusion into a highly personal, instantly recognizable style.

Telarc, the label behind this release, has long been synonymous with audiophile-grade recordings in jazz, classical and related genres. The company built its reputation with innovative digital recording techniques and a consistent focus on natural, lifelike sound. Telarc productions are prized by discerning listeners for their clarity, dynamic range and faithful reproduction of acoustic instruments. With "Place To Be", Telarc once again underscores its commitment to presenting exceptional artists in the best possible sonic light, making this CD an attractive choice for both jazz enthusiasts and sound-quality connoisseurs alike.
