About the Album

Pianist-composer Satoko Fujii has an uncanny talent for picking musicians who can bring out unexpected aspects of her music. That ability is on full display on “Message,” the third album by her trio This Is It!, featuring trumpeter Natsuki Tamura and percussionist Takashi Itani. They are all deep listeners who are unafraid to strike off in new directions, and together they seemingly travel anywhere they like. “Never Mind” shows the three at their energetic and creative peak. The song starts with Itani’s brushes before he’s joined by Tamura’s expressive trumpet playing and Fujii’s thunderous and endlessly unique approach to the piano.
