Ideas flow by the brimful for Satoko Fujii. If her spate of recordings is not enough evidence, then take a look at the bands she heads.

Satoko Fujii Orchestra: Blueprint
by Dan McClenaghan
Japanese-born pianist Satoko Fujii's Blueprint, featuring her New York Orchestra, opens with the title cut, a hard-driving, dark-toned, stop-time tune full of gathering momentum and menace, giving the impression of a world plummeting in the direction of chaos--though it never quite goes there. It's the same feeling one gets in listening to Dumas' “The Sorcerer's Apprentice," ...

Natsuki Tamura Quartet: Exit
by Jim Santella
With his new electric quartet, trumpeter Natsuki Tamura explores a wider range of possibilities in the name of free jazz. Synthesized electronic moods and spiritual trumpet echoes recall the hubbub over the way Miles Davis ushered in the 1970s with fusion. Now, in a new century of improvised music, Tamura turns loose the ties ...
Satoko Fujii Trio: Illusion Suite
by Dan McClenaghan
Nobody does the piano trio thing like Satoko Fujii. Almost every other effort out there in this category can be related to Bill Evans, Thelonious Monk, Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner... to name just a few. With Fujii, the sound is a category of its own. Free, to be sure, with classical tinges, an the occasional influence ...
