Makiko Hirabayashi<\/strong>\u00a0is a Japanese pianist\/composer, based in Copenhagen, Denmark.\u00a0\u00a0Since the release of her first trio album in 2006, Makiko has received wide critical acclaim as a personal voice on the international jazz scene. The fresheness of both her compositions and the trio\u2019s vibrant interplay has caught the ears of many listeners around the world.
\nIn 2020, she was the recipient of the prestigious Honorary Award from the Danish Composers Association, for her work as a composer throughout the years.<\/p>\nMakiko Hirabayashi Trio, featuring drummer\/percussionist Marilyn Mazur (Miles Davis Group 85-89, Jan Garbarek Group 91-05) and bassist Klavs Hovman, has been her main focus in the recent years, where she established her unique sound through performances at major festivals and venues throughout Europe and Asia. Their 4th album, \u201cWhere The Sea Breaks\u201d was released in 2018 on Enja\/Yellowbird Records, featuring the award-winning Danish trumpet\/fl\u00fcgelhorn player, Jakob Buchanan on 4 tracks.<\/p>\n
Since the beginning, Makiko has collaborated with a wide range of musicians on the jazz scene as well as the world music scene. She plays an active role in numerous projects led by Marilyn Mazur, and has worked with many of Europe\u2019s top notch musicians, including Enrico Rava, Norma Winstone, Nils Petter Molv\u00e6r and Fredrik Lundin.<\/p>\n
Makiko has released 7 albums as a leader. Her second trio album \u201cHide And Seek\u201d won both Best Instrumental Album and Jazz Melody Award in Jazz Critique Magazine, Japan. Amongst her recordings with other projects is a duo album \u201cGong\u201d with the American saxophonist Bob Rockwell,\u00a0 and \u201cBinocular\u201d\u00a0with trumpet\/fl\u00fcgelhorn player Flemming Agerskov.<\/p>\n
Makiko Hirabayashi was born 1966 in Tokyo, Japan, where she started playing piano at the age of 4. Spending 5 years of her childhood in Hong Kong \u2013 a cultural melting pot at the time, has had a lasting impact on her life. At age 20, she won a scholarship to Berklee College of Music in Boston. Her original intention\u00a0to study film scoring quickly shifted towards improvising and composing on the piano, as she found herself immersed in the live jazz scene of Boston. Since 1990, she has been based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Her multicultural background and musical diversity is reflected in her music. Elements of jazz, classical music, Far Eastern music and Nordic moods are all molded uncontrivedly into an intriguing, compelling sound of her own.<\/p>\n
