"I totally checked out your CD and thought it was great! Really nice stuff"
Chris Tarry. Electric bassist www.christarry.com - Endorsement
I got the chance to give your cd a listen and I have to honestly say that I am very impressed. Over all the musicianship all sounded top notch and the tones from the basses used had some of the nicest sounding bass I heard recorded in a while from a bassist. I think from what I've heard, that cd will definitely get you closer to where you're trying to get.
