Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Japanese Born / NYC Jazz Pianist Yuko Fujiyama ..She talked about her new CD Night Wave .. Which was her attempt at trying to be free from a feeling of linear time. She was born Sapporo, Japan and started playing piano at the age of four. 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 great stories ..Click here to listen to the interview.
