Satoko Fujii: Defying Expectations
by Kurt Gottschalk
Satoko Fujii is a rare breed. The pianist and composer manages to continually defy expectations while remaining solid and eminently musical in her work. She puts out new recordings at an almost ridiculous rate, rarely repeating a composition, but doesn't simply toss any live session to whatever label will take it. Each new disc (she's released ...
Harris Eisenstadt: The All Seeing Eye + Octets
by Kurt Gottschalk
It's a bold few decisions Harris Eisenstadt makes The All-Seeing Eye + Octets.
