Tomas Fujiwara 7 Poets Trio: Pith
by John Sharpe
In many ways, Pith, the second offering from drummer Tomas Fujiwara's 7 Poets Trio, pursues the course set by the eponymous debut (Rogue Art, 2020) with its lightly swinging lyricism, moments of reflective calm, and a restrained aesthetic which nonetheless permits adventurous forays. The unusual instrumentation, in which the leader supplements his trapset with Tomeka Reid's ...

John Sharpe's Best Jazz Albums Of 2023
by John Sharpe
From the 200 or so discs that I heard in 2023, here are ten new issues and one archival release, which gave me the most pleasure. As always these picks are entirely subjective. And take no account of the many other albums that I would no doubt have loved if I had heard them. So perhaps ...
Tomas Fujiwara’s 7 Poets Trio: Pith
by Mark Corroto
The instructions that came with Tomas Fujiwara's 2019 release, 7 Poets Trio (RogueArt), read, “I'd like to tell you as little as possible about this music before you listen to it... and create your own scenes for which these songs can be soundtracks." The same advice is warranted for Fujiwara's 7 Poets Trio follow up recording ...
Matt Mitchell: Oblong Aplomb
by John Sharpe
On Oblong Aplomb pianist Matt Mitchell pays homage to the drummers in his life. In a way, it can be seen as a follow-up to his debut Fiction (Pi Recordings, 2013). That album, a duet with stickman Ches Smith, originated from Mitchell's practice of warming up for gigs with Tim Berne's Snakeoil by running through a ...
Illegal Crowns: Unclosing
by John Sharpe
When a band of four leaders in their own right still exists over ten years after its inception, then something worthwhile is afoot. Illegal Crowns comprises the familiar American triumvirate of guitarist Mary Halvorson, cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum and drummer Tomas Fujiwara, who first crossed paths with French pianist Benoît Delbecq in 2012. Their third album ...

Secret People: Secret People
by John Sharpe
Even though he doesn't appear on the album, the music of Secret People has an affinity with the warped precision of keyboardist Matt Mitchell. Perhaps not surprising as drummer Kate Gentile forms one half of the duo Snark Horse with Mitchell, who also plays on guitarist Dustin Carlson's leadership debut Air Ceremony (OOYH, 2019), as does ...
