Aloft is the ninth duet album by life partners, pianist Satoko Fujii—who released her 100th album as a leader in 2022—and trumpeter Natsuki Tamura. The album was recorded on December 13, 2003, at Samurai Hotel in New York by Mike Marciano and was released on July 12, 2024, on Libra Records.
Aloft
(Libra Records)
What more can we say after nine conversations? It’s hard to guess. It probably depends on the understanding between the two partners.
Naturally, if the initial meeting is haphazard and ends abruptly due to a lack of common understanding, there might not be much more to say. But if the conversation is between a couple united by love, friendship, passion, or even life in its entirety, the ninth conversation is just as unique as the third or the thousandth.
In such a case, the conversation would get filled with the unexpectedness of the moment, the day’s happenings, and what has yet to be said or experienced, building up on a ground solidified by the already existing habits that strengthen the bonds and engage even more in discussing the unknown together.
Aloft is indeed an illustration of the second possibility. It captures that incredible moment where nothing exists, yet creation happens again, seemingly from thin air, or perhaps from everything; what seems so mysterious to us feels like a daily occurrence for Satoko Fujii and Natsuki Tamura.
Of course, all conversations offer different intensities, moments of shock, and specific depths. But Aloft stands out as an album that captivates naturally and simply in its accessibility, in what it provokes and inspires, offering a constant depth tinged with humor, seriousness, culture, and–above all–exceptional speaking skills.

What about trying to list all the 2024 new jazz music releases?
If we all participate in building it, we may be able to list 6,000 releases as Tom Hull was guessing a few years back. Maybe even more. Maybe list releases from artists that are off the radar. Maybe list releases from countries we are not familiar with.
To achieve this, we need a collaborative document, such as this Google Spreadsheet.
So, if you would like, you are very welcome to add to the spreadsheet any jazz music releases (full-length albums, recorded no later than 2014), in the simple form:
You could be the artist, the artist’s relatives, the promoter, or the music fan.
The spreadsheet is open for everyone to edit and share. And you are indeed very welcome to both edit and share it.
We can hope that by the end of 2024, we will have gathered an incredible amount of jazz releases, helping us discover more music than we would have ever imagined.
Because it feels like all our contributions will help other music fans and artists.
If based in Sweden I can certainly list all the Swedish jazz releases there are, and my friend in Japan will certainly enjoy discovering music otherwise inaccessible to him. In return, I would very much love to get access to and discover new jazz music released in Japan. Same for Brazil, Great Britain, and of course, the USA, state by state even. We could also hope to discover great jazz music from less highlighted countries.
Artists get a chance to put out their music on a list hopefully searched by jazz fans, and link to their release.
We hope you will be thrilled by this project.
Thank you for your participation!
