Satoko Fujii GEN: Altitude 1100 Meters
by Dan McClenaghan
With over a hundred album releases in her discography, featuring solo outings and big band bashes and everything in between, pianist-composer Satoko Fujii could be thought to have “done it all." But there was a missing link. Strings. Though she had recorded in duet outings with violinists Mark Feldman and Carla Kihlstedt, she had never written ...
Keiji Haino / Natsuki Tamura: What Happened There?
by Mark Corroto
Unexpected one-off collaborations in creative music have often thrilled and captivated listeners, yielding results as unpredictable as they are unforgettable. Consider Embraced (Pablo Live, 1978) by Cecil Taylor and Mary Lou Williams, the genre-spanning brilliance of Duke Ellington & John Coltrane (Impulse!, 1963), or the boundary-pushing sonic landscapes of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts ...

I Dischi del 2024 secondo Neri Pollastri

Satoko Fujii: Dog Days Of Summer
by John Sharpe
With its aggressively pushy opener, full of attitude, the reunion of Japanese pianist Satoko Fujii's Quartet, last heard on Bacchus (MZCO, 2007), seems to be asking: “well, did you miss us?" Certainly there is no missing the foursome on Dog Days Of Summer, completed by regular partner Natsuki Tamura on trumpet, along with the snarling electric ...
Satoko Fujii: Renaissance Figure Extraordinaire
by Doug Collette
Satoko Fujii is that rare artist whose technical and intuitive talents are as readily apparent in collaboration with others as when she is working on her own. To that end, she seems bent on deeply exploring the seemingly innumerable combinations of musicians and instruments, in as wide a variety of settings available to her on both ...
