Katrina Kasey Wheeler of JazzReview.com says...If you're looking to add to your holiday collection, then this is a must have; and Richard Banks from ChristmasReviews.com says...Sweet, Moving, and Improvisational Jazz.

Producer/bassist Andre Marcel Ajamu Akinyele, pronounced Ah-jah-moo + Ah-kin-yay-lay, and pianist Jon O'Bergh have produced a solid CD that captures your spirit and soul, while providing a unique sound called “Cyber Jazz - Funk Fusion," continuing to redefine jazz for a new generation.

Jon O'Bergh plays keyboard and piano giving a “live" feel to the overall production as Herbie Hancock, Tori Amos, and Dave Brubeck would do, while Ajamu Akinyele plays bass laying down pure cyber funk as Marcus Miller, Stanley Clarke, Prince, and MeShell Ndegeocello would do.

Experience Cyber Jazz this holiday season.
