Satoko Fujii Orchestra New York: Shiki
by Hrayr Attarian
Pianist Satoko Fujii's Shiki is an intriguing albeit somewhat flawed album. Its dramatic title track and centerpiece clocks over 35 minutes and is filled with sweeping and thrillingly dissonant harmonies and provocative musical ideas. Opening with mournful, expectant drone it goes through a series of alternating symphonic vamps and stimulating instrumental conversations and monologues. These individual ...
Satoko Fujii Orchestra New York: Shiki
by John Sharpe
Even among established groupings Japanese composer and pianist Satoko Fujii continues to search for new means of expression. For the ninth disc from her New York Orchestra, Fujii departs from accustomed practice, particularly in the 36-minute plus title track which dominates proceedings. Truly orchestral in its scope, Fujii wields her composer's wand in a way which ...

Aaron Alexander - Julian Priester: Conversational Music
by AAJ Italy Staff
Conversational Music, titolo appropriato per un CD intimo, rilassato e, nel contempo, dalle forme aperte, a tratti indecifrabile come un quadro astratto. I protagonisti sono anagraficamente divisi da due generazioni (Julian Priester va per i settantasette!) ma hanno più di un tratto in comune. Per esempio Aaron Alexander è stato per anni allievo di Julian Priester ...

Aaron Alexander: Midrash Mish Mosh
by Dan McClenaghan
The klezmer base is there, unmistakeable, on drummer Aaron Alexander's Midrash Mish Mosh, but a bunch of other influences wail into the sound, too. For example, guitarist Brad Shepik lends a punk rock feeling to the opener, “Kleyzmish Moshpit." The title alone gives a big hint of what to expect. A mosh pit with Jewish leanings? ...
Aaron Alexander: Midrash Mish Mosh
by Jerry D'Souza
"Midrash" comes from the Hebrew word “darash," which means “to inquire." “Mis mosh mish" means “mixed-up" or “combination." That was easy; Aaron Alexander explains the terms in the liner notes. Definitions having been provided, this music, part of Tzadik's Radical Jewish Culture series, is indeed an exhilarating combination. To call it mixed-up would be denying it ...
