Il gioco delle coppie! Drake-Mirra & Fujii-Tamura a Ostinati 2015 - Padova

Read "Il gioco delle coppie! Drake-Mirra & Fujii-Tamura a Ostinati 2015 - Padova" reviewed by Enrico Bettinello


Cinema Torresino Padova 09.02.2015. Il poker, si sa, è una “scienza" esatta. Due coppie accostate fanno una doppia coppia e potrebbero diventare un poker d'assi solo se di ugual natura. Per fortuna la musica risponde a leggi differenti e può capitare che due coppie distinte formino non ...

Save the Date - Febbraio 2015

Read "Save the Date - Febbraio 2015" reviewed by Luca Canini


Vacanze finite per Save the Date. Che dopo essersi preso un mese di aspettativa, anche per colpa di un gennaio avarissimo di proposte, si rimette in moto sfornando consigli e dritte a più non posso. Ma prima ci sono un paio di debiti da saldare. A cavallo della fine dell'anno è andata in scena l'edizione numero ...

Anna Webber: Simple

Read "Simple" reviewed by Dave Wayne


If things aren't just right, listening to complicated music can be like doing your taxes. There has to be chemistry, there has to be a narrative, and--even though you don't know what's coming next--the music's got to be on. The players have to be free to speak in a new language; often one divorced from the ...

Natsuki Tamura, Alexander Frangenheim: Nax

Read "Nax" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


Trumpeter Natsuki Tamura has long straddled the divide between free improvisation and lyrical jazz. The latter has been adequately and beautifully represented in his work with Gato Libre. That quartet features his wife and occasional duo partner--the pianist and accordionist Satoko Fujii--and combines elements of folk, chamber and modern jazz. In contrast, much of his solo ...

Gato Libre: DuDu

Read "DuDu" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian


Trumpeter Natsuki Tamura's quartet Gato Libre has always recorded stimulating, progressive music heavily laced with a Spanish lyricism. DuDu is no exception. “Mouse" is the prime example of this. On it the musicians push far the harmonic boundaries of their respective instruments creating delightfully jarring cacophony intertwined with intensely melodic explorations.Despite the personnel change ...

Satoko Fujii Orchestra New York: Shiki

Read "Shiki" reviewed 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 ...
