East of West's
Debut CD
"Crossing Borders"
Includes nine original tracks written by Steve Jeffrey and John Cardoso
Featuring performances by world-renowned musicians!
Andy Suzuki: Saxophone
(Shapes, David Benoit, Dave Bruebeck, Chick Corea and Kilauea)
Ron Pedley: Piano
(Barry Manilow, Air Supply and Kombo)
Bob Fernandez: Percussion
(Barry Manilow, Frank Zappa, Dionne Warwick and Tito Puente)
Track Highlights Include:
"Crossing Borders" - the beat of African log-drums start the listener on a musical path that depicts the realization of change and progress across all aspects of ones life.
"Second Wind" - this high-energy composition brings the listener through a series of emotional highs. A roller coaster of soloing leaves the listener thinking, “Just when you thought it was over you get your second wind.”
"Twilight Mood" - a soothing composition that brings the listener to a mellowing transition that moves day into the spirited coolness of the evening breeze quelling the hurried soul.
"Coast to Coast" - mix one roaring sax with some tasty Latin odd-meter and the listener ends up on a quick cruise to Brazil. Pour yourself a glass of wine and kick back.

What People Are Saying About "Crossing Borders"
“East of West is appropriately a bicoastal affair helmed by Steve Jeffrey and John Cardoso. Their Crossing Borders debut presents nine originals that masterfully navigate the somewhat tricky waters that bridge the varying shades of jazz.”
Ted Hasiuk for Café Jazz- Canada's Smooth Jazz Connection.
"The music of East of West brings a high energy and hard driven sound to jazz. This is the kind of jazz that makes you want to jump in your car and drive. I could spend hours listening to their music and do. They are often featured on my internet radio show"
Sal Calfa -Le Jazz Affair.com
"If you like Rick Braun, you'll love Crossing Borders. Order some as stocking stuffers for those Jazz fans in your life. You won't be disappointed!"

"Crossing Borders tracks are bass-driven without being bass-heavy. There's more complexity than you will find in most of today's easy-listening Smooth Jazz music, with beat change-ups and creative chord choices, yet the effect is very uplifting and appealing."
Marion Garbo Seltzer

"Nice blend of fusion and smooth jazz. What a great CD. Crossing Borders blends a great complexity and energy of fusion with the relaxing quality of smooooth jazz. I wish there was more from East of West."
