Since moving to the United States in 1995, Eri Yamamoto has established herself as one of jazz’s most original and compelling pianists and composers. Jazz legend Herbie Hancock has said, “My hat’s off to her… already she’s found her own voice.” Eri has collaborated with such creative and celebrated musicians as William Parker, Daniel Carter, Hamid Drake, among others. Since 1998, Eri’s trio has been appearing regularly at Arthur’s Tavern in Greenwich Village. She is also skilled in the art of solo piano, moving audiences with her renditions of her own compositions and her spontaneous improvisations. Check out more of her work at www.eriyamamoto.com
