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.
