A book of scores to accompany the double CD of 56 Satoko Fujii compostions performed by respected classical pianist and educator Yuko Yamaoka, "Diary 2005-2015", part of her 60th birthday monthly album set.
"On this recording, the composer-pianist unearths hidden gems from her daily composition diary, which classical pianist Yuko Yamaoka brings to life. The double album overflows with musical ideas - 118 of them to be exact.
Selected by Fujii from a decade's worth of composition notebooks, the collection of very short pieces offers a unique and fascinating window into the creative process of one of the most fertile minds in modern jazz. Yuko Yamaoka's vivid performance brings every facet of these little compositional jewels to sparkling life.
This is the 11th of 12 recordings being released in 2018 to celebrate Fujii's "kanreki - 60th birthday."-Libra
