Satoko Fujii, Tatsuya Yoshida: Baikamo
by Neri Pollastri
La collaborazione tra Satoko Fujii e il batterista Tatsuya Yoshida è antica e i due non hanno mai interrotto i concerti assieme sotto l'insegna di Toh-Kichi, sebbene dal loro precedente album--Erans, datato 2004--le occasioni si fossero fatte meno frequenti. Questo nuovo lavoro, frutto di più registrazioni in parte dal vivo e in parte in studio, dimostra tuttavia che la loro intesa non si è indebolita.

Some of pianist Satoko Fujii's most explosive music comes with her work with drummer Tatsuya Yoshida. Their duo outings under the name Toh-Kichi, including Erans (Tzadik, 2005) and Toh-Kichi (Victo, 2002) are raucous affairs that veer in an out of mayhem, as are their recordings with the Satoko Fujii Quartet, including Vulcan, (2001), Zephyros (2003), and Bacchus (2007), all on the Libra Records label. Yoshida is a stomp the floors, slam the doors percussionist—you won't hear much in the way ...
