Satoko Fujii Orchestra Tokyo: Zakopane
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 ...
Gato Libre: Shiro
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The elemental sadness of Natsuki Tamura's trumpet, as it ascends the temperate scale he has created in “Dune and Star," defines the desolate beauty of Shiro, the fourth album from duo-turned-quartet, Gato Libre. Tamura also evokes the soft colors and textures of dawn, dusk, and the time in between, as if it has been caught in ...
First Meeting: Cut the Rope
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Trumpeter Natsuki Tamura creates a vast expanse of sound on Cut the Rope, the first album recorded with his band First Meeting. Nothing is predictable on this wholly improvised album that ranges from aspects of a vision of being marooned on a desolate soundscape to the musicians ultimately finding their way into a melodic river of ...
Gato Libre: Shiro
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il Gato Libre del trombettista Natsuki Tamura giunge al quarto capitolo confermando i caratteri di un'estetica transculturale che s'ispira alle musiche popolari europee per creare una sintesi dalle tinte radiose, giocata principalmente sulle suggestioni timbriche e la cantabilità melodica. Il primo nucleo del progetto era un duo costituito da Tamura e dal bassista Norikatsu Koreyasu. Dopo ...

Japanese trumpeter Natsuki Tamura's name is most often mentioned in the press for his work with his wife, Satoko Fujii.

Satoko Fujii - Myra Melford: Under the Water
by AAJ Italy Staff
Impermanenza, spontaneità, leggerezza, autenticità, eleganza, fluidità del pensiero musicale. Non credo siano casuali i numerosi riferimenti all'acqua nelle discografie di Satoko Fujii e Myra Melford: acqua nel disco in duo che la Fujii pubblicò nel '95 con Paul Bley, Something About Water; acqua nello splendido The Same River, Twice, album firmato dalla Melford nel '96; acqua ...
Satoko Fujii & Myra Melford: Under The Water
by Jerry D'Souza
The Maybeck Recital Hall has been home to some of the best pianists whose playing resonated not only within the walls of that institution, but into the history of piano music as well. That sounding board came alive once more when Myra Melford and Satoko Fujii performed there on September 14, 2007. Melford and ...
