Satoko Fujii Tobira: Yamiyo Ni Karasu
by Karl Ackermann
If ever there were a restless musical spirit, it would be pianist, composer (and occasional accordionist) Satoko Fujii. The Japanese artist has issued more than sixty recordings in settings from solo to full orchestra and most everything in between. While she demonstrates virtuosic straight-ahead balladry on occasion, her preference has long leaned toward unorthodox improvisation. Fujii ...
Natsuki Tamura, Alexander Frangenheim: Nax
by Alberto Bazzurro

Gato Libre: DuDu
by Alberto Bazzurro
Fondandosi su un assortimento strumentale senz'altro inconsueto e su composizioni tutte a firma del trombettista e leader Natsuki Tamura, il quartetto protagonista di questo lavoro, inciso a Berlino nel giugno 2013, ci regala un prodotto certamente originale, che ha se vogliamo il solo limite di offrirci il meglio in apertura e chiusura, non rivelandosi nella parte ...

Natsuki Tamura, Alexander Frangenheim: Nax
by Karl Ackermann
Trumpeter Natsuki Tamura has long straddled the divide between free improvisation and lyrical jazz. The latter has been adequately and beautifully represented in his work with Gato Libre. That quartet features his wife and occasional duo partner--the pianist and accordionist Satoko Fujii--and combines elements of folk, chamber and modern jazz. In contrast, much of his solo ...
Gato Libre: DuDu
by Hrayr Attarian
Trumpeter Natsuki Tamura's quartet Gato Libre has always recorded stimulating, progressive music heavily laced with a Spanish lyricism. DuDu is no exception. “Mouse" is the prime example of this. On it the musicians push far the harmonic boundaries of their respective instruments creating delightfully jarring cacophony intertwined with intensely melodic explorations.Despite the personnel change ...
Gato Libre: DuDu
by John Sharpe
The fifth album by Gato Libre, trumpeter Natsuki Tamura's acoustic quartet, is the first since the sudden death of bassist Norikatsu Koreyasu in 2011. Having thought long and hard about whether to continue, Tamura recruited trombonist Yasuko Kaneko as a replacement. While the European folk music inspiration of previous outings like Shiro (Libra Records, 2009) and ...
