One of the most original and prolific voices in jazz today, Satoko Fujii is celebrating 2018, the year of her 60th birthday (which will fall on October 9th), by intensifying her already intense recording schedule.

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.

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?

Artists who release a recording every three or four years, or who tour sporadically, face the possibility of ...

Satoko Fujii: Satoko Fujii Solo
by Karl Ackermann
In celebration of her sixtieth birthday, pianist/composer Satoko Fujii plans to release twelve albums in one year; one for each month of 2018.
