Marilyn Crispell/Harvey Sorgen, The Young Mothers & B.B. King
by Maurice Hogue
If you haven't heard the piano trio, Dreamstruck (Marilyn Crispell, Joe Fonda & Harvey Sorgen), put them on your must-listen list. Highly original and free wheeling playing make their two releases much appreciated. Crispell and Sorgen decided to continue making magic as a duo on the new Forest, now available, and it's one of the feature ...
Doug Collette's Best Jazz Albums Of 2024
by Doug Collette
These may not have been the only titles that provided respite from the inane insanity (insane inanity?) around us this year, but each in its own way commanded deep and abiding attention in and of itself. Mary Halvorson Cloudward Nonesuch Records Satoko Fujii Jet Black ...

Kira Kira: Kira Kira Live
by Glenn Astarita
Kira Kira, a Japanese avant-garde ensemble has been at the forefront of improvisational music since 2017. Their name, translating to “glittering" or “shining" in Japanese, fittingly reflects the radiant quality of their sonic explorations. The ensemble includes an all-star lineup: trumpeter Natsuki Tamura, pianist Satoko Fujii, keyboardist Alister Spence and drummer Tatsuya Yoshida. Together, they blend ...
Natsuki Tamura / Satoko Fujii: Aloft
by John Sharpe
By the time of its ninth release a band might be struggling to produce something new. Not so the Japanese wife-and-husband duo of pianist Satoko Fujii and trumpeter Natsuki Tamura. They reap the benefits of a long association while sidestepping potential downsides to keep things fresh and unpredictable. While previous albums have often featured the compositions ...
Darius Jones, Thumbscrew, Oaagaada & Kira Kira
by Maurice Hogue
These two hours are filled with amazing music. Alto saxophonist Darius Jones continues his Man'ish Boy series with his new Legend of E-Boi (The Hypervigilant Eye). I'll be amazed if this doesn't show up on most best-of lists for 2024. It's Darius in his finest form. Thumbscrew's work is impeccable too, and their new Wingbeats continues ...
Natuski Tamura, Jim Black: NatJim
by Alberto Bazzurro
Un bel dialogo franco e convincente illumina le varie città evocate nei diversi momenti della giornata e stati d'animo dai titoli degli otto brani che coprono la parte preponderante del CD, tutti a firma di Natsuki Tamura, dove peraltro il propellente-Black è senz'altro decisivo per tracciare il perimetro espressivo, il climax, dell'album attraverso una prova di ...
Satoko Fujii Quartet: Dog Days Of Summer
by Dan McClenaghan
Satoko Fujii Quartet's Dog Days Of Summer has been a long time coming. It is the re-emergence of one of her most exciting bands, the Satoko Fujii Quartet. They had a great run from 2002's Vulcan (Libra Records) until 2008's Baccus (Muzak Records). Then the group went into a dormancy. In the meantime, Fujii has released ...
