Satoko Fujii Tokyo Trio: Jet Black
by Doug Collette
Of all the varied settings in which Satoko Fujii places herself, the piano trio may be the most satisfying, if only because of the distinct way she and her respective bandmates stretch the boundaries of this ever-so-venerable instrumental concept. Hardly an exception to the rule of wholly arresting collaborative musicianship, Jet Black is the ...
Satoko Fujii Tokyo Trio: Jet Black
by Dan McClenaghan
The January 2024 release of Jet Black starts the year out right.

Satoko Fujii: Hyaku: One Hundred Dreams
by Alberto Bazzurro
