Wabi Sabi

“Plays Well With Others” by the sensationally talented Wabi Sabi is a groovy, irresistible collection of pop/rock tunes! Opening with the jazz groove sounds of “The Power,” this CD immediately grabs listeners by the ears and hangs on until the very end! Musically, “Play Well With Others” outshines most – its unbelievable piano openings, rhythmic grooves, and electrifying electric guitar solos places this CD in the big league. Perhaps even more endearing is the strategic use and placement of brass instruments, namely the trumpet. “Time is Running Out” takes a delightful departure to a harder, faster-paced rock sound, displaying a wide-range of diversity. Lyrically, Wabi Sabi tackles the themes of life and love with literary precision, using occasional biblical analogies (“The Power” and “Apples”). Moreover, stunning vocals and crisp production puts this CD on the shelf next to the big names! If you like the sounds of Maroon 5, you will absolutely love this CD! - RadioIndy.com

Just 3 words --- Simply Freakin' Fantastic. I rarely buy CD's, especially for consideration or review purposes. I just bought this one due to circumstances. I don't care how I got it, I'm just glad I did. I'm here to tell you, this cat has a future, in music no less! Clever, intelligent and unique with 32 favorite flavors, and listenable time and time again. Great musicianship from all the players and well sequenced. I have no favorite track, except maybe numbers 1 to 12. And hats off to John Hopkins - the recording quality and mix is so clear and transparent you can see from the very beginning all the way through to the very end! But I'm beginning to overstate. Just Simply Freakin' Fantastic! - Edd Miller - CMO Productions Atlanta
