Satoko Fujii Min-Yoh Ensemble: Watershed

Read "Watershed" reviewed by Dave Wayne


Min-Yoh is the newest star in pianist Satoko Fujii's growing constellation of amazing improvising groups.

Satoko Fujii Orchestra Tokyo: Zakopane

Read "Zakopane" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


There are several outstanding qualities that emerge in pianist Satoko Fujii's big band writing. She has an extraordinarily sense of color that plays upon the moist exquisiteness of muted shades, as well as recognizing and utilizing the vivid ends of her palette of colors. She also combines ingenious use of the timbre of various elements of ...
