O’s Notes: This is another solo piano effort from free jazz pianist Satoko Fujii. She resides in Kobe City, Japan with her husband, producer Natsuki Tamura. They’ve lived together in Boston, New York, Berlin and Tokyo capturing pulses from around the world, now reflecting on them in her music. She uses a number of devices to extract unique sounds from her grand piano creating eerie, dark and introspective music that is many ways reflective of where we are. We were drawn into the music, just two selections over ~45 minutes. The audio quality is excellent, furthering our enjoyment.
