Musician

Natsuki Tamura

Born:

Japanese trumpeter and composer NATSUKI TAMURA is internationally recognized for a unique musical vocabulary that blends extended techniques with jazz lyricism. This unpredictable virtuoso’s seemingly limitless creativity led François Couture in All Music Guide to declare that “… we can officially say there are two Natsuki Tamuras: The one playing angular jazz-rock or ferocious free improv… and the one writing simple melodies of stunning beauty… How the two of them live in the same body and breathe through the same trumpet might remain a mystery.”

Born on July 26, 1951, in Otsu, Shiga, Japan, Tamura first picked up the trumpet while performing in his junior high brass band

Kaze & Koichi Makigami: Shishiodoshi

Read "Shishiodoshi" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Avanguardia piuttosto spinta, attraversata da un marcato gusto per l'antigrazioso di boccioniana memoria, specie in Natsuki Tamura, da sempre braccio armato del quartetto Kaze, da lui codiretto ormai da quasi un quindicennio con la moglie Satoko Fujii, e nell'ospite del succitato quartetto, Koichi Makigami (anche allo scacciapensieri, non accreditato), soprattutto allorché impegnato alla voce (a volte ...

Satoko Fujii Quartet: Dog Days Of Summer

Read "Dog Days Of Summer" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero
