O’s Notes: Fujii goes solo on Gen Himmel her latest release. While she is as creative as ever, the music seems to be more structured without competing instruments to cloud the translation. The compositions are still on the edge with the eclectic movements we’ve come to expect from the Japanese pianist. Fujii plays what is on her mind, an endless stream of thoughts both random and pointed.
