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 |
