The Trio encloses in a unique sonority the elegance and refinement of the style permeated by a very penetrating lyricism, giving emotions created by an intense, telluric dialogue, decorated with the pearls of the charismatic touch of Eri Yamamoto with an excellent pianism and a wide harmonic range with his multifaceted artistic personality. The japanese pianist, established in New York since 1995, studied with Reggie Workman, Junior Mance and LeeAnn Ledgerwood in the prestigious New School University jazz program, establishing herself as one of the most original and compelling pianists and composers in international jazz. Over the past twenty-seven years, Eri has shared her unique and evocative music by performing on many prestigious stages in the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, Africa, Jamaica and Australia demonstrating how she knows how to tie her origins, classical and the best jazz of the tradition.
