4 STARS AND A HALF!!!! ****1/2 Japanese pianist-composer Satoko Fujii and American double bass master Joe Fonda did not need much time to establish a rare and profound musical rapport. These two prolific musicians managed to do so even though their winding paths have never previously crossed and both had not heard much of each […]

THE NEW YORK CITY JAZZ RECORD parla di Duet
Duet documents a first-time meeting between pianist Satoko Fujii and bassist/flutist Joe Fonda in Portland, Oregon, in 2015 and it results in two pieces: “Paul Bley”, a long and sometimes quietly intense extended improvisation between the two, and a relatively brief piece in which they’re joined by Fujii’s husband and frequent musical partner, trumpeter Natsuki […]
THE JAZZ TRAIL parla di Duet
Duet is a very gratifying artistic collaboration between the inventive Japanese pianist Satoko Fujii, a freethinker who feels equally comfortable playing solo and conducting an experimental big band, and the categorical American bassist Joe Fonda, whose intense, unclouded sound made him be Anthony Braxton’s first choice for many years. These two references of the avant-garde […]
Il Corriere della Sera parla di Trouble No More… All Men Are Brothers
8,5/10!!!!! un disco che evoca tutta una stagione di grande musica, quella degli anni ’70. Tra Southern Rock, John Coltrane e Charles Mingus.
ICONDC.COM parla di Trouble No More… All Men Are Brothers
Tiziano Tononi & Southbound **** 4 STARS! Trouble No More…All Men Are Brothers Long Song Just when some of us thought the whole “tribute album” thing had run its course, part two: In the early ‘70s, one of the paramount American outfits was The Allman Brothers Band, a Southern blues-rock combo with a flair for […]
All About Jazz parla di Trouble No More… All Men Are Brothers
La musica della Allman Brothers Band (e in fondo tutta una tradizione blues pregressa) a braccetto con Trane, Ayler, Mingus, il Davis orgiastico della svolta elettrica, e poi Rahsaan, Sun Ra, Cherry, l’Art Ensemble: questa, dichiaratamente, la linea percorsa dal nuovo lavoro del percussionista milanese, che del resto ad operazioni del genere è avvezzo da […]
steptempest.blogspot.it parla di Trouble No More… All Men Are Brothers
Upon hearing of the death of Gregg Allman, I was transported back to the night I first heard The Allman Brothers Band in concert. Their first Lp had been released on Atco/Capricorn in late 1969 and they immediately went on tour supporting the J. Giels Band. Saw them at an old concert hall in Springfield, […]
Step Tempest Blog parla di Duet
If ever an album needed a video of the performance, “Duet” by pianist Satoko Fuji and bassist Joe Fonda (Long Song Records) is one. Not that the music the duo performs is not strong on its own but it would be enhanced by watching the musicians playing and interacting. Personally, I have seen Mr. Fonda […]
The Classical Arts parla di Duet
The pairing of pianist Satoko Fujii, 58, and bassist Joe Fonda, 62, for a Duet concert recording in the Meloon Chapel of the Woodfords Congregational Church in Portland Maine was made even more magical than it already was when Fujii’s husband, trumpeter Natsuki Tamura, surprisingly bum-rushed the stage to make the second set into a […]
Salt Peanuts parla di Duet
Pianist Satoko Fujii coming from Japan, and is, in my opinion, one of the toughest jazz musicians on the planet at present. She moved across the ocean in 1985, to study at Berklee, where she finished in 1985, when she returned to Japan. But where she could not be. So in 1993 she sat in […]
