Reviews from CD Baby: ////
funky, jazzy, ... nice mixture...Good CD to listen to while relaxing. Every time you listen to it you'll find out details you didn..t hear before. Especially the guitar playing of James Harrah is fantastic. Cool, funky but never with to many notes. I would give it 5 stars if there where more songs in the style of the second tune on it. If the Bisquera Bros read this: Go out and record that live in a small club. I think these tunes played live would make them even greater. (author: TT)////
I found this CD to be very musical and original! The keyboard playing is phenominal, as well as the guitar playing!!! (sexy,yet exciting). If I were a bass player, this would be the go-to CD. Larry Graham better watch out!!! Albert Wing is by far the next big thing in my book!!! (WOW) The drum playing is average at best...percussion (go Rich) helps though throughout this CD. Buy this....FOR SURE! (author: Bisquera Bros. Fan)////

BISQUERA BROTHERS (bis-kera)
When the Bisquera Bros. first began making music together, it was evident right away that something very special was happening. Because of everyone's individual, unique influences and backgrounds, their performances are inspired and acclaimed. Soon after the band's inception, a buzz began in Los Angeles that six of LA's top musicians had joined forces. And from the beginning, it felt like a family. Since then, Bisquera Brothers have played both domestically and internationally and have fans worldwide. Recently at a show in Los Angeles, Sheila E. sat in, lending her amazing energy to the evening and later exclaimed that "this is the best band in LA!".
