**Japanese pianist Satoko Fujii and trumpeter Natsuki Tamura (The NatSat Duo) launch
their project Pentas with this album, their 7th as a duo, with compositions from
each musician and dedicated as a tribute to Eric and Chris Stern, elder inspirational
fans who spoke with the duo after the NY premiere of this music, upon learning that
Eric passed away that very night.**

Pentas shows the power of this couple and their intensely telepathic rapport, each
using extended approaches to their instruments and comfortable in unusual scales
and structures. Confident, inventive, and imaginative music that covers a wide range
of territory and concept, exceptional.
