Kaze: Atody Man
by Jerome Wilson
The second offering in Satoko Fujii's 60th birthday CD-a-month marathon is by her long time quartet, Kaze. The group's instrumentation of two trumpets, piano and drums would lead you to think it's heavily experimental and abstract, but while those elements are present, there is, on Atody Man, always a sense of order to this music with ...

Kaze: Atody Man
by Dan McClenaghan
What was it drummer Art Blakey said about surviving in the tough, competitive business of being a jazz musician?
