Thanks so much!!I am so honored to be listed on DownBeat 2021 Annual Critics Poll, in Big Band, Composer and Arranger categories.



CD Release
By swapping the audio files between Berlin and Kobe, we made our second duo album. Futari (Taiko Saito- vibraphone, marimba, Satoko Fujii – piano, voice) had so much fun making this new album “Underground”!

We made “Mosaic” in internet. Since we had to play in different rooms, we had to hear each other more carefully. This is It! (with Natsuki Tamura- trumpet and Takashi Itani- drums) has been playing long enough to feel our voice even in different rooms!

“Piano Music” is my new experimental work. I recorded some fragments of my piano play and use them as lego parts to make big piece. It is like a patchwork quilt. I improvised with the parts when I edited.

Satoko Fujii Tokyo Trio is my new piano trio with Takashi Sugawa (bass and cello) and Ittetsu Takemura (drums). I am very happy with this debut album “Moon on the Lake.” This has been recorded at Pit Inn, Shinjuku in September, 2020.

My piano solo album “Hazuki” was recorded in my small piano room by myself during the pandemic. Almost all pieces were composed in 2020.

This is the 8th album with Natsuki. We recorded this music at home and I mixed it by myself.
