Satoko Fujii: Desert Ship / Zephyros
by AAJ Italy Staff
È una casella centrale quella occupa Satoko Fujii nello scacchiere del jazz contemporaneo. Sono bastati meno di una decina d'anni alla pianista giapponese per imporsi all'attenzione (più della critica che del pubblico; ma questa è la solita storia, l'eterno cruccio per chi scrive di musiche “non allineate") con una serie di dischi tutti di altissimo profilo. ...

First Meeting: Cut the Rope
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Trumpeter Natsuki Tamura creates a vast expanse of sound on Cut the Rope, the first album recorded with his band First Meeting. Nothing is predictable on this wholly improvised album that ranges from aspects of a vision of being marooned on a desolate soundscape to the musicians ultimately finding their way into a melodic river of ...

by Raul d'Gama Rose

The sojourn begins in a down to ...
