Performance: 2

Score: 
O’s Notes: Satoko Fujii“performs in many configurations usually small ensembles centered on contemporary free jazz.“Peace“evolves around her 12-piece orchestra performing four lengthy movements.“Ironically the title track is the most discombobulated of the set while “Jasper” was far more peaceful! Trumpeter Natsuki Tamura and several other musicians tap into the unexpected sounds and notes from their instruments. The twelve musicians are rarely playing simultaneously keeping the stage open and allowing all of the extractions to be fully realized in this eclectic endeavor
