Ahh, Hiromi. I first heard her music at a hi-fi show a few years ago. Her chops are otherworldly and she has a fascinatingly eclectic musical sensibility. She's able to switch stylistically from Keith Emerson to Bill Evans with nary so much as a hiccup, much less a stumble. Check out her Brain CD to see what I mean.
And man, she is drop-dead GORGEOUS.
