The classically-trained Japanese avant-garde pianist and improviser Yuko Fujiyama returns to the records after a four-year hiatus.
American-based Japanese pianist Yuko Fujiyama has recorded sparingly over a 40-year career, so the arrival of Quiet Passion, only the fourth date under her leadership, is an occasion to perk up the ears. Also noteworthy is the unusual instrumentation she has chosen, supplementing her piano with the cornet of Graham Haynes and electronics of Ikue Mori. The resultant 13 cuts constitute a deeply personal album, introspective but simmering with pent up emotion and steely determination.
