Since moving from Japan to the United States in
1995, Eri Yamamoto has established herself as one of
jazz’s most original and compelling pianists and
composers and can count the legendary Herbie
Hancock as one of her fans.
A musical prodigy, Eri Yamamoto began playing
classical piano at the age of three. She started
composing when only eight years old, and studied
voice, viola, and composition through her high
school and college years. In 1995, she visited New
York for the first time and by chance heard Tommy
Flanagan performing. She was so inspired by her
first experience of a jazz piano trio that she decided
on the spot to move to New York and dedicate
herself to learning jazz, which she did with much
aplomb and is now widely celebrated as one of the
finest musicians on the jazz circuit.
As well as performing with her own trio, Eri has
appeared on two William Parker recordings and
worked with such musical luminaries as Ron
McClure, Andy McKee, Lewis Barns, Rob Brown,
Leena Conquest, Arthur Kell, Kevin Tkacs, Whit
Dicky, Christopher Dean Sullivan and Michael T.A.
Thompson.
