  4. Dear Sotise, the Guitarist is awesome! Just listened to this tonight, before and during the first part of the new Stones movie on HBO, which was fun!... This is a truly unique, fresh album, instantly destined to be at the top of the stack for quite awhile.You are right, the sax is unique and awesome, but so are the other two, and as a trio function with a unity of purpose at an incredibly high level. Can't recommend this enough!

  6. Thank you Ernst for your fast update, I was expecting a music between Derek and Jojo but finally it is something different and very personal, like the Japanese know so well how to do it, nice.
