"There
are two pieces with remarkable rhythmic patterns - this Afro-Indian
Jazz is the music I've been waiting for."
Record
Collector - Japan

jazz, poetry and instruments."
CD
Journal - Japan

a harmony of oriental mystcism and Afro-American enthusiasm"
Swing
Journal - Japan
"This is a trans-cultural music performance which came from
each member's originality. It is the presence we feel now, but can
not call just "Jazz." It is a deep expression of the opposite
side of our society. The performances in this CD include improvised
music which lets us feel it freshness and energy, and brings people
to another dimention."
