Here are the quotes from the recording musicians:
"Taka's CD is one of the coolest projects
I've worked on recently."
--- Adam Holzman
"It was a really fun experience to be a part of
this recording. Takanori managed to get some
really great performances out of some really
great musicians. It's strong music,and I'm proud
to have been a part of it."
--- Aaron Heick
In a time when so many musicians are making
aesthetic choices driven by feeble "strategic
marketing" thinking, it's refreshing to come
across someone like Takanori Niida, who puts
his music first, and who isn't afraid to PLAY!
--- Jon Herington
It was my great pleasure to be a part of this
music and this project. Takanori Niida is a
player's player. Thanks for asking me to the party!
--- Will Lee
I had such great time playing this music
with Taka. I was impressed with his groove
and feel. He took care of business.
--- James Genus |
