Sorry for canceling the previous event. Learning from the mistake, this time I'm announcing the event early. Hiromi Uehara, the young and talented pianist from Japan is coming to LA in April! The venue is The Jazz Bakery, where Mr. "insidejazz" who is a member of this community works as a sound engineer.
日時:2007年4月14日(土)8pm/9:30pm 料金:$35(第1ステージのみ、希望者はその後追加料金を払えば第2ステージも観ることができます) 場所:The Jazz Bakery
Time: Saturday, April 14, 2007 8pm/9:30pm Tickets: $35 (For 1st stage only. Those who want to stay for 2nd stage can do so by paying an additional fee.) http://www.jazzbakery.com/ 3233 Helms Ave. Culver City, CA 90034 310-271-9039
After studying piano at Yamaha Music School, Hiromi went on to Berklee School of Music in Boston. Her talent was immediately recognized by her teacher and piano legend Ahmand Jamal and she made her debut album from the American Telarc label. She is young, energetic and fearless: She wears her hair BIG to leave a strong impression on American audience.
She is embarking on a tour to promote her brand-new CD "Time Control." This time she has a guitarist in addition to her regular bassist and drummer. We can expect to see astonishing technique from all musicians, unpredictable and thrilling musical developments, and the joy of playing music that Hiromi expresses with her entire being.
Jazz Bakeryでは食べ物は出ません。ロビーで飲み物を買って開場に持ち込むことは可能です。基本的に他で食事を済ませてから、現地集合してください。希望があればOCからカープールも検討します。
No real food is served at The Jazz Bakery which is basically a jazz theater. You can buy a drink at the lobby and bring it into the theater. Please eat dinner beforehand and meet me at the lobby. If there's demand, I'll consider carpooling from Orange County.
I reserved 5 tickets today for Mr. Kanai, Ken + guest, Mr. NetHero and myself. Please meet me there between 7pm and 8pm. The cost is $36 per person including $1 reservation fee. If you want to carpool from Orange County, please send me an email.
