The 2024 Sydney International Women’s Jazz Festival (SIWJF) will feature over 60 global and local artists across seven Sydney venues this Spring, from October 24th to November 3rd. Now in its 13th year, SIMA has championed groundbreaking artistic innovation and diversity featuring the leading women in jazz.
In this episode I’m talking toJapanese pianist Satoko Fujii.
Spence and Fujii have been commissioned by the Melbourne International Jazz Festival to present a new Australian/Japan collective – Kira Kira (shine). For this project, Tamura on trumpet and Tony Buck on drums will join them.
Since 2011, The Street has put a spotlight on jazz when it began developing a national forum around jazz in Australia’s capital city through bringing leading jazz artists together in Canberra and creating endless possibilities for new audience experiences and expectations.
