Inspired by the sound of an alarm clock going off, Hiromi, Anthony Jackson and Simon Phillips perform Hiromi's composition Move.
A++ WOULD WAKE UP VERY EARLY FOR THIS

Heard part of this on NPR yesterday. Really, really good. I'd love to see her perform.

Another usage of that alarm clock sound (more literally but at least as musical).

That was incredible. I think I have a new jazz crush.

Awesome . Very tight, cool group. Blue Rondo on steroids. Wow.

I saw her at the Blue Note in NYC last fall. Sublime. Don't miss her if you have the chance!

Hiromi has impressive chops, but her music always has struck me as being long on showy technique, short on swing and feeling. This piece was no different - the skill involved is admirable, at least on an abstract level, but to me, the end result seems cold and dull. Your mileage, of course, may vary...

I'm not much of a jazz person but ... god damn, maybe I should be!

Heard the story on NPR yesterday too. (I was more impressed with Move than the other tracks they sampled, but it's worth noting they were radio-friendly samples.) NPR story link for those interested.

Almost certainly inspired by this 1959 alarm clock.

I am completely unfamiliar with Hiromi - thanks for the intro, and the reminder of how insanely good Simon Phillips is.

I guess the cool part is that after watching that I don't have to go to the gym.

Hmm, Anthony Jackson CAN tone down his awesome chops when necessary! #TIL

Saw her at the Fuji Rock festival in Naeba, Japan in 2005, been a fan ever since.
Damn the anemic jazz scene here in Hawaii, she'll probably never preform here.

I hate the sound of alarm clocks with an intensity bordering on misophonic, but I love the hell out of this.

I have listened to this about 15 times now. Never gets tiring.
Plus, you can't get an earworm from this stuff because it's so unpredictable.
Check out Hiromi's version of I've Got Rhythm. You won't recognize the melody in the beginning, but at 2:30 you'll hear it, and at 5:00 it really gets moving.
She throws in lol references to Rhapsody in Blue, etc.
Art Tatum and George Gershwin are jumpin' in their graves.
