Hiromi
Pianist Hiromi shares her jazz influences. Plus live music from bassist Henri Texier.
Julian Joseph presents an interview with Japanese piano star Hiromi who shares some of the music that inspires her, including the Oscar Peterson track that introduced her to the joy of swing and a musical 鈥渞ollercoaster ride鈥� by Frank Zappa that informed her own playful approach to the piano.
Also in the programme, Julian has concert highlights from bassist Henri Texier, a grandee of the French jazz scene, plus jazz classics and the best new releases.
Produced by Dominic Tyerman for Somethin鈥� Else.
