Description

Product description On his list of accomplishments, Japanese drummer Gota Yashiki lists programming, playing, or arranging credits with acts from Simply Red and Sinead O'Connor to Depeche Mode and Massive Attack. On Let's Get Started, a nicely diverse assortment of contemporary jazz targeted squarely at a smooth-jazz radio audience, Gota exercises his ability to compose and perform multi-instrumental audio environments that range from banal to stylishly interesting. Oddly, his album's title track is one of his most undistinguished works, whereas selections such as "Riding the Dawn," distinguished by smart sax lines and a polite but addictive groove, and the romantic, sax-fueled "We'd Better Move On" demonstrate his facility at sculpting above-average (and occasionally very worthwhile) fodder for smooth-jazz playlists. --Terry Wood .com On his list of accomplishments, Japanese drummer Gota Yashiki lists programming, playing, or arranging credits with acts from Simply Red and Sinead O'Connor to Depeche Mode and Massive Attack.

Gota's Let's Get Started (Instinct) is a perfect example of how these styles have come together. The album finds drummer and programmer Gota Yashiki mixing retro dance grooves with David Sanborn-esque saxophones and Lee Ritenour-flavored guitars.--- JAZZIZ Magazine Copyright © 2000, Milor Entertainment, Inc. -- From Jazziz See more

Great music. I could not find my original CD of Gota, but this replacement was excellent. It also arrived in a timely manner.

It may be old and it may be too electronic ...

It may be old and it may be too electronic for some people's taste, but it was a head bobbing jazzy to me.

Gota - Let's Get Started

Gota - Let's Get Started.Lofty HollowayLondon - UKAn enjoyable CD, spent much time listning to this on the old UK radio station, Jazz FM on 102.2 FM, but always wondered if the version that Jazz FM was indeed, the version that was featured on the CD, unless you know diferent @ 4.06".I could never be that certain as I thought that the version that Jazz FM played had similar intor, and some where alog the track, the rythem and tempo changed, or did it?. Can any one offer their thoughts please?.

Another Great Gota CD

This is another great cd of music! Smooth jazz at it's best again, great arrangements & musicianship! Gota is such a great musician it's a shame his music doesn't get much airplay on smooth jazz stations. 'In The City Life' was the jam that got me hook on this cd, this is a must for Gota fans!
