What the critics said
“Hard Bop is the focus of most cuts often mixed with rhythms and sounds of the Far East. All show flair, imaginative application of tempo and harmony, and unexpected jagged rhythmic diversions guaranteed to keep listener attention. Integration is recommended!”
“Chako, the composer, takes his inspiration from the rich Blue Note lode. Echoes of Shorter, Hancock, and Dorham reverberate through these tunes, which all sound like they could have found a home in the Jazz Messengers’ book.”
“…a blend of musicians and music of different cultures. His jazzy playing is relaxed and confident. Most of the upbeat tunes share a groove that will make your head bounce… solid and entertaining!”
