....."When I first heard Hiro Suzuki at BB King's club in New York, I was impressed by his technique and feeling.
Since then I've seen him play with Deborah Coleman's dynamite blues
group, and been lucky enough to
have him sit in with my band several times. I love the way this guy plays!
His new album has the real deal blues feel- I was especially knocked out
by the super-funky "Naze"."

....."Hiro Suzuki proves that you can be a soulful blues player no matter where you come from."
(May 2nd, 2008, Shemekia Copeland)
