Arina Fujiwara: Neon

Read "Neon" reviewed by Katchie Cartwright


Neon, pianist-composer--arranger Arina Fujiwara's luminous debut release, ends on an unexpected note, a solo take on Scott Joplin's “Maple Leaf Rag" (1899), his most popular and enduring tune. It complements her program of four excellent originals and an inspired reconception of “Hotaru Koi," a Japanese children's song. Fujiwara's “Maple Leaf Rag" flows out of Joplin's classic ...

Neon: Here To There

Read "Here To There" reviewed by John Kelman


Institutional education is undeniably a very good thing, despite running the risk of turning out too many players with a “cook book" approach to improvisation.
