Satoko Fujii Orchestra Berlin: Ichigo Ichie
by Budd Kopman
The huge dual drum opening of part 1 of the title piece is a clear signal that with Ichigo Ichie, pianist/composer/conductor Satoko Fujii is not going to hold back when introducing her latest orchestral group of Berlin (which she now calls home). Orchestra Berlin is Fujii's fifth such group (after creating and recording with orchestras in ...
Satoko Fujii Orchestra Berlin: Ichigo Ichie
by Karl Ackermann
If there is any doubt that a Satoko Fujii orchestra is an ensemble of a different color, one simply needs to look at the bleeding-edge personnel that have played a part in her New York, Chicago and several Japan based versions. Now a Berlin variety of her troupe presents Ichigo Ichie, the pianist's first European player ...
Satoko Fujii Tobira: Yamiyo Ni Karasu
by Karl Ackermann

Ever restless, she forms new groups filled with fearless musicians with always interesting results. She debuted her Satoko Fujii New Trio in 2013 with Spring Storm, (Libra Records), and ...
Satoko Fujii Orchestra Berlin: Ichigo Ichie
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 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.
