Pianist and composer Hiromi returns in 2025 with Out There, a vibrant new album recorded with her band Hiromi's Sonicwonder on the Telarc label. Known for her jaw-dropping technical ability and infectiously playful musical personality, Hiromi delivers a record that blends unlimited complexity with moments of genuine warmth and fun — a combination that has made her one of the most exciting voices in contemporary jazz.

Out There is a genre-bending journey that touches on rapid-fire bebop energy, sly '70s fusion grooves reminiscent of Herbie Hancock and George Duke, and pure improvisational joy. Tracks like "Yes! Ramen!!" showcase Hiromi's free-flowing playfulness, while the suite at the heart of the album moves through shifting rhythms, textures, and moods with stunning fluidity. It's an album that rewards close listening and stands as a testament to what jazz can sound like when performed at the highest level.
