East of West: Reviews

"Lovely music, very enjoyable. Crossing Borders has great music. I enjoyed listening to the MP3 files, but buying it is so much better. I can listen to it several times and listen to it over and over again and the music stays enjoyable." 

"On behalf of the alumni association and the Carrol Center, I would like to
thank East of West for your extraordinary performance. This was the most
successful and enjoyable event we've had to date. Your music appeared to
cast a spell of joy and happiness on all of us in the audience."

"Jazzy rock with many iPod-worthy tracks! 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 uplifting and appealing. Each track is distinct and there's good interplay between bass, keyboard, and sax. Crossing Borders is definitely worth buying and then downloading to your iPod for good musical company while you exercise, do daily chores, or dance around your living room in your socks."

"Great modern jazz I love it, this kind of music is getting real popular in Canada and Europe... Great job, I recommend "Crossing Borders" to all musicians."

"Crossing Borders and East of West is uplifting and is great to play in my new car. It is very positive music and I really like the syncopation and atypical rythms.
Thanks for enriching my life with your music, I treasure it."

"Sweet licks from smooth Jazz pros. I am a huge Rick Braun fan. If you like Rick Braun, you'll love Crossing Borders from Steve Jeffrey and John Cardoso. Order some as stocking stuffers for those Jazz fans in your life. You won't be disappointed!"

"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." 

"MP3.com featured their songs for downloading, which I did. I continue to enjoy their music months after the download and now I want to support the artists'
music with a purchase of Crossing Borders. They are a mainstay on my mp3 player."

"Fantastic CD, I like every song on it.  When is the next one coming out? Everyone should have Crossing Borders.
The music really makes you feel good."

"What great work and a great story! I am a huge Jazz fan…my cat’s name is Jazzman! We used to go to the Mount Hood Jazz Festival every year while living in Portland, OR. Hope to see you guys here in Kansas City! I’m passing Crossing Borders on to the Head of the Jazz Foundation in Kansas City. Great CD!"
