No I must admit I've not heard these two. I'm slightly reliant on Alan Freeman of Ultima Thule to recommend and sample me with some of the less familiar bands - he seems to have a reasonable graps of my tastes but has never pushed Ars Nova (even when their albums were in stock), but he found a good'en wrt Food Brain. But next time I go across to Leicester I'll get him to play some Ars Nova, etc.
 
May I reciprocate and recommend Hiromi's first album to you?

Thanks for your reply and recommendation Dick, I will check out Hiromi's first album.
I am a huge fan of Toshio Egawa and I was lucky to see his band Gerard during their European tour and even got the opportunity to interview him for a Dutch progrock magazine. He revealed that his mother was piano teacher, that turned out to be a major boost to his amazing skills, if you like 'over-the-top-keyboard-driven-symphonic prog', then check out Gerard Live Clap

Surprised the godfather of Japanese keyboard rock, and ambient, and................, Ryuichi Sakamoto (well know for contributions to David Bowie and David Sylvian albums) has been neglected.

In which bands did Hiromi & John Myung play ? I don't know them at all .

P.S.I'm confused that nobody likes Tsutomu Izumi. He was one of the first japanese prog-rock keyboardist!

John Myung is the bassist for Dream Theater, not a keyboardist as far as I know.

Hiromi appeared out of the blue:
 
Beware. A Google search threw up for 'Hiromi, a lady who staed her desire had been to appear nude in Playboy. At first I had problem working out why a new jazz pianist wasn't wearing much.......wrong Hiromi.
