Satoko Fujii, Tatsuya Yoshida: Baikamo
by Neri Pollastri
La collaborazione tra Satoko Fujii e il batterista Tatsuya Yoshida è antica e i due non hanno mai interrotto i concerti assieme sotto l'insegna di Toh-Kichi, sebbene dal loro precedente album--Erans, datato 2004--le occasioni si fossero fatte meno frequenti. Questo nuovo lavoro, frutto di più registrazioni in parte dal vivo e in parte in studio, dimostra ...

Natuski Tamura: Summer Tree
by Karl Ackermann
Natsuki Tamura explodes the conventions of the trumpet. The ironically titled Summer Tree is his fifth solo album though his partner, and here, producer, Satoko Fujii, lends a vocal contribution on one of four extended compositions. Tamura's previous pandemic project, Koki Solo (Libra Records, 2021) was lockdown escapism with an ear toward humor and an eye ...
Natsuki Tamura: Summer Tree
by Dan McClenaghan
In 2002, the Natsuki Tamura Quartet released an album called Hada Hada (Libra Records).

And those cyborgs were mad. Odd stuff. In 2022, ...
Futari: Underground
by John Sharpe
Pandemic enforcement of geographic separation in no way inconveniences the adventurous combo of pianist Satoko Fujii and vibraphonist Taiko Saito, working together under the banner Futari. Having explored the option of a virtual band on Mosaic (Libra, 2021) by her This Is It! trio, Fujii tries a different approach on Underground, her second album with Saito ...
Futari: Beyond
by Neri Pollastri
Tra le molte collaborazioni della pianista giapponese Satoko Fujii, particolarmente singolare e riuscita è questa con la connazionale vibrafonista Taiko Saito, assieme alla quale ha dato vita al duo Futari. Le due artiste si conoscono dalla metà degli anni 2000, quando si incontrarono a Berlino in occasione di un concerto della Fujii e dove la Saito ...
This Is It!: Mosaic
by John Sharpe
Fittingly for an artist as relentlessly exploratory as pianist Satoko Fujii, on Mosaic she pushes at the boundaries of recording technology, as well as the music, and comes up trumps. For the second release from the trio This Is It! lack of physical proximity proved no obstacle. Confined to base during the pandemic, Fujii and husband ...
