Satoko Fujii Orchestra Berlin: Ichigo Ichie

Read "Ichigo Ichie" reviewed by Mark Corroto


I'm going to propose a computer “app" called Big Band World Domination. With this software players would be able to go forward and backward in time to have big bands compete against each other. Spin back to the territory bands of the 1920s, 30s, all the way to the 1960s, and then up to today. We ...

Satoko Fujii Orchestra New York: Shiki

Read "Shiki" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Satoko Fujii è una delle figure più versatili e creative della scena musicale contemporanea. Dall'inizio degli anni Novanta ha prodotto un corpus di opere quanto mai vasto e articolato, comprendente molti capolavori. Com'è noto, uno dei suoi ambiti prediletti è la conduzione orchestrale, che ha portato avanti con regolarità e che nel 2014 ha ...

Gato Libre: DuDu

Read "DuDu" reviewed 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 ...

Gato Libre: DuDu

Read "DuDu" reviewed 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 ...

Satoko Fujii Orchestra New York: Shiki

Read "Shiki" reviewed 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

Read "Shiki" reviewed 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 ...
