Satoko Fujii & Joe Fonda: 4

Intuitive creations both long and short are formed by pianist Satoko Fujii teamed with Joe Fonda who plays both bass and flute on these seven pieces. Dark piano impressions lurk on “Painted by Moonlight” and bowed strings buzz like a saw for piano jabs on ”Diamonds In The Rough” while a dash of Bill Evans is sprinkled on to “Cannot Do More.” Fonda’s flute is flavorful on “Gift From Billy” as things get more elastic with trumpeter Natsuke Tamura joining in for some coyote howls on “Stars In Complete Darkness” and a growling “We Meet As 3.” Musical Jackson Pollock?
