Satoko Fujii + French-Japanese Quartet Kaze Tour Australia: January 13 - 19, 2016 Japan: January 23 - 30
(Published: January 08, 2016)

Pianist Fujii Performs Solo and Duo Concert with Alister Spence January 13 in Glebe

Two-trumpet ensemble Kaze unleashes storm of inventive sound with performances in Australia and Japan including Sydney, Melbourne, Kobe and Tokyo


"...the rarely heard sound of two trumpets collaborating, interweaving and cross-talking is at the center of the group Kaze, whose penultimate set of the festival was also one of the high points of the overall program." - Josef Woodard, DownBeat

"... one of the most musically dynamic and intense "jazz" sets of the year... If you think you can imagine what piano, drums, and two trumpets will sound like, think again." - Derk Richardson, KPFA

"One of the best gigs I've seen this year...." - Steve Dalachinsky, The Brooklyn Rail


Acclaimed pianist/composer Satoko Fujii - one of the most compelling voices in music today - tours Australia, January 13 - 19, 2016 and Japan, January 23 - 30, with a solo/duo performance as well as performances with the renowned collective quartet Kaze, which is touring to celebrate their recent CD Uminari.

Melodic, abstract, mysterious, beautiful, and confrontational, Kaze plays free jazz at its most creative and powerful. The members of this international quartet - pianist Fujii, trumpeters Natsuki Tamura and Christian Pruvost, and drummer Peter Orins - share an insatiable appetite for sonic experimentation, boundless energy and enthusiasm, and the disciplined intelligence of accomplished spontaneous composers.

The group has released three acclaimed recordings - 2011's Rafale, 2013's Tornado, and the May 2015 release Uminari which the London Jazz News calls "...bold, uncompromising music." Uminari is a Japanese word that refers to a sound rising from the sea, a low-frequency roar that portends a coming storm or tsunami. The two-horn quartet is equally adept at the calm and the storm, with expressive subtleties giving way to overwhelming torrents of sound.
