This Is It! is a trio consisting of Satoko Fujii  (piano),  Takashi Itani (percussion) and Natsuki Tamura (trumpet).

When writing the review for this CD I've focused on what things sound like, so you'll see percussion mentioned frequently, and it actually is accurate, but probably not in the way you would think.

As you probably already figured out, this is an album exclusively featuring piano.

This is an unusual release. It's under progressive rock at MSJ because of it's experimental nature.

This is an unusual and unique release. It's very freeform. It's all done by one musician.

This makes it under the heading of prog because that's where we put fusion, and that is probably the closest fit here. Then again, much of this isn't far removed from Rock in Opposition, either.

I've been reviewing quite a few releases featuring Satoko Fujii lately. Her piano work is always inventive and unique.

This album is, as the title suggests, all played on one instrument - piano. Don't expect traditional piano music, though.

Except for one of its four tracks, this is a truly solo album. Natsuki Tamura plays trumpet, piano and wok.

You don't get much more artistic than the music produced by Futari.
