Review

"Takeshi is a dream come true producer: a brilliant composer, an innovative musician and an intuitive collaborator. It is a privilege to work with him."
- Elise Wiener, singer & song writer"
"Takeshi is that rare musical artist who is able to create music in a variety of different styles. He is truly gifted."
- John Settineri, writer and composer of musical "Hunger"
"a most effective piece of 'mood music.'"
- Lindsay Koob for Charleston Today, on Takeshi's Composition, "Spring Thunder."
"Musically sophisticated, driven by a powerful, mythic story and characters..." - on Takeshi's Arrangement on "Hunger - A Love Story" by Allan of Rafford Films
"The real gem, shining brightly on this album is 'Le Crepuscule' referring to the most outstanding achievements in the world of jazz piano trio. Championship!"
- Robert Ratajczak, RadioJAZZ.fm on CD "Takeshi Asai New York Trio Vol. 1"
