(NL) Fujii Satoko zal een line-up van jonge muzikanten coachen voor verschillende concerten: 4 Franse muzikanten en 4 Citadelic muzikanten. Ze zal ook zelf meespelen. Na de 2 sessies komt er dan ook een grand finale.
De concertjes en opstellingen zelf worden pas bepaald na een eerste muzikale ontmoeting tussen de muzikanten achter gesloten deuren op zaterdag, dus is het voor iedereen een verrassing!
(ENG) Fujii Satoko will be coaching a line up of young musicians for different concerts: 4 French musicians & 4 Citadelic musicians and will be playing with them. After the 2 sessions there will also be a big final.
The concerts and arrangements themselves are only determined after a first musical meeting between the musicians behind closed doors on Saturday, so it is a surprise for everyone!
Critics and fans alike hail pianist and composer Satoko Fujii as one of the most original voices in jazz today. A truly global artist, she tours internationally leading several ensembles based in Japan, Europe, and the United States. Just as her career spans international borders, her music spans many genres, blending jazz, contemporary classical, rock, and traditional Japanese music into an innovative synthesis instantly recognizable as hers alone. Her wide-ranging compositions can incorporate the simple melodies of folk song, the harmonic sophistication of jazz, the rhythmic power of rock, and the extended forms of symphonic composers. Although Fujii's compositions are full of sudden shifts in direction and mood, the extremes are always part of a greater conceptual whole. The 2015 El Intruso International Critics Poll recognized her as one of the composers of the year and in 2016 she was named a Rising Star Composer in the 64th Annual DownBeat International Critics Poll. As an improviser, Fujii is equally wide-ranging and virtuosic. In her solos, explosive free jazz energy mingles with delicate melodicism and a broad palette of timbre and textures.
"She is the Ellington of free jazz."―Bob Rusch, Cadenc
"Unpredictable, wildly creative, and uncompromising…Fujii is an absolutely essential listen for anyone interested in the future of jazz." ― Dan McClenaghan, All About Jazz
"Fujii is clearly one of the most exciting musicians to come along in a while." ― Robert Iannapollo, Cadence
