Recording of their performance on 11/7/21
Eri Yamamoto, piano
David Ambrosio, bass

Since moving to New York in 1995, Eri Yamamoto has established herself as one of jazz's most original and compelling pianists and composers. She has a deeply empathetic rapport with her long-standing trio members bassist David Ambrosio and drummer Ikuo Takeuchi. Together they have recorded several albums,most recently Life. As the album title suggests, the music portrays a wide range of her experiences - from joyful to introspective, reflecting the vibrancy of New York and exploring mysteries of nature and memory.
Downbeat Magazine gave four stars to her previous release, Firefly, saying: “Her CD reaffirms Yamamoto’s standing as a contemporary pianist of the highest order. Her virtuosity never gets in the way of playing it straight from the heart.”
