From Pith
Tomas Fujiwara assembled his 7 Poets Trio with Patricia Brennan and Tomeka Reid for the first time during his residency at New York City’s The Stone in April 2018, after having previously played with Brennan in Michael Formanek’s Ensemble Kolossus, and with Reid in her Quartet. As has been the case with his past ensembles (Tomas Fujiwara & The Hook Up, The Tomas Fujiwara Trio, Triple Double, and The Tomas Fujiwara Percussion Quartet), Fujiwara brought together two musicians who had never played together before, creating a brand new combination of musical personalities. Their eponymous debut was released in 2019 by Rogue Art, with a follow-up album, Pith, coming out on 15 September via Out of Your Head Records.
