Hiromi Kasuga
Those Universities offered Hiromi a wealth of precious experience to study with great jazz musicians, such as Bruce Barth, Dave Leibman, and Kenny Barron. She also has a passion for arranging for small to larger ensembles. This passion has led her to further studies with two great master arrangers, Jim McNeely and David Matthews. Aside from being an exceptionally gifted pianist, she is also a prolific composer and arranger in her own right. In recent years, (September 2005 to September 2007) she arranged several tunes for a big band and strings orchestra under the directorship of Alto Saxophonist Brad Leali at Texas Tech University.
Her schedule remains active playing popular US venues like the Blue Note New York and the Kitano Hotel. Blue Note Japan is looking to promote Hiromi Kasuga for a Japan and Asian tour as well as a US and European tour.
She has just released her "New York Calling" CD in the United States, February 12,2009.
