Gato Libre: Kuro

Read "Kuro" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Dopo la pubblicazione in anni recenti di Strange Village e Nomad il quartetto Gato Libre conferma i tratti squisitamente folk di un'estetica apparentemente distante dalla cultura e dalla storia musicale dei suoi componenti. 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


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. Fujii forgoes her usual piano for accordion on ...

Gato Libre: Kuro

Read "Kuro" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza


Gato Libre is back, carrying on the musical tradition that marked its last recording, Nomad(No Man's Land, 2007). Natsuki Tamura (trumpet), Satoko Fujii (accordion), Kazuhiko Tsumura (guitar) and Norikatsu Koreyasu (bass) play with an agile sense for melody and detail that suits the compositions to a nicety. Tamura uses Gato Libre to get away from the ...

Gato Libre: Kuro

Read "Kuro" reviewed by Budd Kopman


The enchanting Kuro is the third release from trumpeter Natsuki Tamura's group, Gato Libre, following Strange Village (Muzak, 2005) and Nomad (No Man's Land, 2007). Tamura shares the same fearless creative attitude that his wife and musical partner pianist Satoko Fujii (here playing accordion) has. His eclectic interests can be heard most recently ...

Natsuki Tamura / Satoko Fujii: Tobifudo

Read "Tobifudo" reviewed by Budd Kopman


"Tobifudo" means “Flying God" or “Flying Deity" in Japanese and the Shoboin Temple in Japan is dedicated to the Flying God. It is also the name of a group in which pianist Satoko Fujii and trumpeter Natsuki Tamura were members, and finally, the name of the first album in their large discography. As ...

Satoko Fujii: Fujin Raijin

Read "Fujin Raijin" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


La pianista e compositrice Satoko Fujii ha più volte trovato ispirazione nel folklore del suo Paese ma la scelta non è mai stata così profonda e coerente come in questo disco, registrato il 25 maggio 2006 a New York. Al suo nuovo quartetto ha dato il nome di Min-Yoh Ensemble, riferendosi a quella forma di musica ...

Natsuki Tamura Quartet: In The Tank

Read "In The Tank" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


In a drifting and amorphous way, the sound on In The Tank feels as elemental as a delta blues; the opener, “Walking Squid," comes to life on a spare, tinny plucking of strings, like something you'd hear from Son House or Robert Johnson. Whether the plucking comes from a guitar or from Satoko Fujii reaching inside ...
