Chihiro Yamanaka: Pianist/Composer/Arranger

山中千尋 | 钢琴、作曲、编曲

Chihiro Yamanaka是一名国际知名的爵士钢琴家、作曲家及乐队领队，目前常驻纽约。她灵活的技巧深受好评，并经常被拿做与Oscar Peterson以及Art Tatum等传奇演奏家们相提并论。

Yamanaka于1976出生于日本群马县桐生市。她4岁起开始接受正式的钢琴教育。在学习及练习古典音乐以外，她在高中时将重心转移到爵士乐的学习。毕业后，她进入了波士顿伯克利音乐学院，并成为Betty Carter Jazz Ahead项目中的一员。2000年，她以优异的成绩从伯克利音乐学院毕业。回国之前，她在波士顿和纽约与众多音乐人合作，并在《DownBeat》杂志的杰出表演奖比赛中获得第一名。

短暂回到日本后，她于2001年在日本Atelier Sawano唱片公司发行专辑《Living Without Friday》，开始了自己的录音生涯。2005年，她与环球音乐古典与爵士签约，并在北美首发自己在纽约与鼓手Jeff “Tain” Watts及贝斯手Robert Hurst录制的专辑《Outside by the Swing》。

2014年，Yamanaka从Verve转至环球音乐旗下的Blue Note厂牌，刚好赶上了该品牌成立75周年。她的首张专辑《Something thin’ Blue》以六重奏形成呈现，除了个人作品之外，专辑还收录了Bud Powell的”Un Poco Loco”和Herbie Hancock的”I Have a Dream”。同年，她又推出了专辑《Syncopation Hazard》，向Scott Joplin致敬。Yamanaka在2016年发行的Blue note Guilty专辑中回归了三重唱的形式，把她的原创作品和Hoagy Carmichael的精选作品放在一起。2017年底，山中制作并改编了爵士传奇Thelonious Monk的作品。在鼓手Deantoni Parks和贝斯手Mark Kelly的协助下，她演奏了原声和电子钢琴、合成器和B-3管风琴。

Chihiro的最新专辑《Prima Del Tramonto》，作为向历史上最伟大的爵士钢琴家之一Michel Petrucciani致敬，于Blue Note唱片公司成立80周年之际发行。2019年是Michel Petrucciani逝世20周年，Chihiro受到了他及Blue Note唱片公司音乐的极大影响。

这将是Chihiro Yamanaka三重奏在亚洲的唯一演出，绝不容错过！

Chihiro Yamanaka is an internationally renowned and New York based jazz pianist, composer, and bandleader, whose fluid, athletic technique has drawn rave reviews and very favorable comparisons to legends such as Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum.

Yamanaka was born in Kiryū, in Japan’s Gunma Prefecture, in 1976. At age four she began formal piano studies. While she began with classical music and still practices it, she shifted her focus to jazz studies in high school. After graduation she attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston as part of the Betty Carter Jazz Ahead residency program. She played with a wide range of musicians in Boston and in New York before heading back home to Japan after she graduated from Berklee in 2000 with honors — and took first place in Down Beat’s Outstanding Performance Award competition.

Temporarily returning to Japan, she began her recording career there in 2001 with Living Without Friday issued by the Japanese label Atelier Sawano. In 2005 she signed a worldwide deal with Universal’s Classics and Jazz division and issued her North American debut with the trio effort Outside by the Swing, recorded in New York City with drummer Jeff “Tain” Watts and bassist Robert Hurst.

In 2014, Yamanaka moved from Verve to the Universal-owned Blue Note label just in time for its 75th anniversary. Her debut, Somethin’ Blue, was a sextet offering, and in addition to originals offered striking renditions of Bud Powell’s “Un Poco Loco” and Herbie Hancock’s “I Have a Dream.” She followed it the same year with Syncopation Hazard, her tribute to Scott Joplin. Yamanaka returned to the trio format for 2016’s Blue Note-issued Guilty, which placed her original compositions alongside select pieces by Hoagy Carmichael. Near the end of 2017, Yamanaka produced and arranged Monk Studies. She played acoustic and electric piano, synth, and Hammond B-3 organ in an almost exclusively Monk program backed by drummer Deantoni Parks and bassist Mark Kelly.

Chihiro Yamanaka’s latest CD, “Prima Del Tramonto” tributed to Michel Petrucciani, one of the great jazz pianist icons was released on the 80th anniversary of Blue Note Records. 2019 is the 20th anniversary of Michel Petrucciani’s death. Chihiro has great influence and respect to Michel Petrucciani and Music of Blue Note Records.

This is the only chance to hear Chihiro’s trio performance in Asia. Please don’t miss it!
