Il meglio del 2017 secondo Nicola Negri
by Nicola Negri
Un altro anno di musica straordinaria: dodici dischi (e una manciata di concerti memorabili) per riflettere sul 2017 appena concluso. Maestri come Wadada Leo Smith e Roscoe Mitchell continuano a stupire per coraggio e coerenza; Nicole Mitchell e Satoko Fujii si confermano musiciste e compositrici di valore assoluto; si delineano nuove prospettive grazie a Irreversible Entanglements, ...
Satoko Fujii Orchestra New York: Fukushima
by Karl Ackermann
Satoko Fujii's Orchestra New York has been together since their 1997 debut South Wind (Leo Lab/Libra). A “super group" by any standards, it has remained largely intact over the course of twenty years, bringing the ensemble to its latest release, Fukushima, a memorial suite. The Fukushima nuclear accident was caused by a major earthquake and a ...
Satoko Fujii Orchestra New York: Shiki
by Angelo Leonardi
Satoko Fujii è una delle figure più versatili e creative della scena musicale contemporanea. Dall'inizio degli anni Novanta ha prodotto un corpus di opere quanto mai vasto e articolato, comprendente molti capolavori. Com'è noto, uno dei suoi ambiti prediletti è la conduzione orchestrale, che ha portato avanti con regolarità e che nel 2014 ha ...
Satoko Fujii Orchestra New York: Shiki
by Hrayr Attarian
Pianist Satoko Fujii's Shiki is an intriguing albeit somewhat flawed album. Its dramatic title track and centerpiece clocks over 35 minutes and is filled with sweeping and thrillingly dissonant harmonies and provocative musical ideas. Opening with mournful, expectant drone it goes through a series of alternating symphonic vamps and stimulating instrumental conversations and monologues. These individual ...
Satoko Fujii Orchestra New York: Shiki
by John Sharpe
Even among established groupings Japanese composer and pianist Satoko Fujii continues to search for new means of expression. For the ninth disc from her New York Orchestra, Fujii departs from accustomed practice, particularly in the 36-minute plus title track which dominates proceedings. Truly orchestral in its scope, Fujii wields her composer's wand in a way which ...
Satoko Fujii Orchestra New York: Eto
by AAJ Italy Staff
Sessanta come gli anni del marito trombettista Natsuki Tamura. Sessanta come numero magico dello zodiaco cinese, in Giappone chiamato Eto, dove si incontrano (12x5=60 e 10x6=60) sistema numerico duodecimale e sistema decimale. Zodiaco cinese che contiene in ogni ciclo dodici anni e, a ciascun anno, fa corrispondere un animale. Qualche numero, dunque, per spiegare la genesi ...
Satoko Fujii Orchestra New York: ETO

Satoko Fujii Orchestra New York: Undulation
by Jim Santella
Satoko Fujii's New York big band carries a big stick, blowing away any and all obstacles as the musicians interpret this program of her soul-stirring compositions. Everyone solos on this creative journey into the avant-garde, and Fujii's cohesive orchestra provides a stable foundation. Undulation, the band's sixth album, is tight. These players have been together long ...
