I had the pleasure of meeting Satomi Morimoto a couple of weeks ago.
I saw her at Teatro Timanfaya where she played jazz with ST Fusion, then a couple of days later when in a classical trio OpenART Ensemble she played music from the film Amelie and the modern tango of Astor Piazzolla.
She is an amazing jazz and classical pianist, and has an incredible voice.
Film is at her house, then centre of La Laguna.
Vida Loca performed by Satomi Morimoto and Virginia Guantanamera in concert at Entre2.
Satomi Morimoto is an amazing jazz and classical pianist and an opera singer.
I had the pleasure of meeting her a couple of weeks ago and attending two of her concerts.
It is not often one finds a Japanese jazz pianist and vocalist in a jazz quartet.
Adding to the line up guys on bass and guitar and percussion.
Very avante gard.
Highlight was Japanese pianist Satomi Morimoto on piano and vocals with her own compositions.
Concert was part of Atlantic Jazz-Lab season at Teatro Timanfaya.
I was reminded of Canterbury Scene in the early 1970s.
Several albums on sale not only by ST Fusion but also by members of the quartet.
I picked up a copy of ST Fusion 3, which Satomi Morimoto kindly signed.
It is important they also release on bandcamp.
