: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Live at Big Apple in Kobe captures a riveting, wildly :,
: unpredictable live performance by Mahobin, a formidable quartet :
:' of improvisers gathered together for the first time by ':
,: pianist-composer Satoko Fujii. The recording is the eighth of :,
: FujiiÆs yearlong birthday celebration which has her releasing a :
:' new CD every month. Joining her on this recording are trumpeter ':
,: Natsuki Tamura, Danish saxophonist Lotte Anker, and laptop :,
: musician Ikue Mori. Performing without any compositions or :
:' pre-arranged plan, the quartet improvises a thrilling album of ':
,: music laced with brilliant colors, compelling rhythms, and :,
: melodic beauty balanced with otherworldly abstraction. :
:' ':
,: Although they had never before performed as a group, the members :,
: of Mahobin have worked together in other formats. Mori and Fujii :
:' collaborated for the first time in 2013 during FujiiÆs ':
,: residency at The Stone. Then in 2016, Fujii and Anker joined :,
: Mori at her Stone residency. Anker later joined Fujii and Tamura :
:' for a 2017 tour of Japan. This year, Fujii decided the time was ':
,: right for them to converge in one group to see what might :,
: emerge. :
:' ':
,: Mori came up with the bandÆs unusual name. ôMahobinö is a :,
: Japanese word for ôthermos,ö but it literally means ômagic :
:' bottle.ö They all loved the name. ôItÆs nice to have a band ':
,: name with the word æmagicÆ in it,ö Fujii says, ôand I like it :,
: because a thermos keeps everything in it hot for a long time.ö :
:' ':
,: And the music does stay hot for long stretches during the two :,
: improvisations that comprise the CD. ôRainbow Elephantö slowly :
:' wends its way through passage after passage of astonishing ':
,: sounds, following a slowly evolving path. ThereÆs a continuous :,
: weave of soundùsparkling electronics; saxophone clicks and :
:' cries; textured, breathy drones on the trumpet; and subtle ':
,: prepared piano timbres. The sound expands and contracts, dense :,
: one moment, open and airy the next. Fujii plays a long melodic :
:' arc with scintillating sounds dancing underneath. Later, Anker ':
,: starts her own extended melody, supported and embellished by the :,
: others. ôYellow Skyö grows more directly from soft electronic :
:' flutters and breathy tones on saxophone and trumpet to become ':
,: progressively darker and more agitated with hot raspy trumpet, :,
: rumbling piano, clattering electronics, and wailing saxophone. :
:' The album is one of the most sustained abstract performances in ':
,: the Fujii discography. :,
