by Neri Pollastri
Satoko Fujii non smette di stupirci e deliziarci con le sue creazioni a getto continuo, nelle quali spesso indaga territori fin lì inesplorati: stavolta ci offre un lavoro che la vede alla testa di un sestetto completato da un quartetto d'archi (con contrabbasso al posto del violoncello) --tipo di ensemble con cui finora non si era ...

by Doug Collette
One of contemporary jazz music's most prolific artists, pianist/composer/bandleader Satoko Fujii refuses to repeat herself except with a purpose.

Steve Lehman, Nels Cline, Satoko Fujii & Hobbs/Shanko
by Maurice Hogue
It's not easy to find a more accomplished figure in creative music than Anthony Braxton. Alto saxophonist Steve Lehman knows that, and he honours his one-time mentor with a bristling new live album, The Music Of Anthony Braxton, destined for 2025 best-of lists.
