Di progetto in progetto, di pubblicazione in pubblicazione, la statura artistica di Satoko Fujii negli ultimi anni è cresciuta a dismisura. E nel meraviglioso universo di situazioni che la vedono coinvolta, dal duo col marito trombettista Natsuki Tamura alle scritture per big band, dal quartetto Gato Libre al sodalizio con la violinista Carla Kihlstedt, il piano ...

Gato Libre: Kuro

by AAJ Italy Staff
October 27, 2008

Il quartetto è infatti composto dai giapponesi Natsuki Tamura alla tromba, Satoko Fujii alla fisarmonica, Kazuhiko Tsumura alla chitarra acustica e Norikatsu Koreyasu ...

Gato Libre: Kuro

Read "Kuro" reviewed by Michael P. Gladstone

October 18, 2008

This album is a bit unusual for trumpeter Natsuki Tamura and his group Gato Libre. While many of his other recordings are in a free jazz mode--notably as an accompanist for his wife, pianist Satoko Fujii--Kuro seems largely intent in showing a varying picture of Tamura's musical scope.

Tamura uses Gato Libre to get away from the ...
