But it wasn't until a summer morning in 1980 standing on a sidewalk in New York's East Village that she found her calling; someone was playing a Cecil Taylor tape and she was transfixed by the piano sounds. That someone was Taylor's drummer, Jerome Cooper, and that moment opened a door for her to the abstract beauty of music. She has been \"looking for musical structures\" ever since. \"Recently, I've been trying to be free from a feeling of linear time. This album, Night Wave, is the result of my long search.\" Joining her in this quest are three esteemed fellow travelers in the art of improvisation: percussionist Susie Ibarra, violinist Jennifer Choi, and cornet\/flugelhornist Graham Haynes: \"It was a joy to play with these beautiful musicians. I appreciate Susie for her earthy but sensitive sound, Jennifer for her beautiful melodies, and Graham for his simple and rich expressions.\" The album weaves a delicate series of colorful musical glimpses, from aggressive and ominous stories to melancholic flashes of freedom and silence. Listen at night, on a sidewalk, or wherever you might like sounds to arrest you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Yuko Fujiyama","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32475636400199,"sku":"35905172","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3772403.jpg?v=1747417107","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/yuko-fujiyama-night-wave","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
