C Gayle inspired me to start playing saxaphone, I first heard him working the back room stock of tower records, NJ, i was in AWE, AMAZEMENT!, his playing was like nothing i've heard b4, to compare it , and that's not my intentions, but, like J. Pollock dripping, throwing, splashing paint on those canvases, a delicate GODZILLA...I've seen Gayle several times, every time, was a GOD send a WOW! got the chance to get on stage with him, KFactory , i was so uplifted!!!love C. Gayle, his playing, his expression, his lifes work... OM SHANTI, D |

We spoke often about music and life, he once said that I played "A very healthy guitar." I'll never forget that, coming from him it was a big reassurance, and it helped give me the resolve to keep pushing onward.
Johnny Asia, Guitarist from the Future
http://www.mp3.com/johnnyasia Review of
Dance of the Fairy Princess:
"If you took a guitar to an alien planet and left it there without explanation as to what its use was, the inhabitants would probably come up with something entirely different than our terrestrial musical concepts. Johnny Asia defies earthbound limitations with this stunning instrumental. An extended composition that is full of energy, imagination, and unorthodoxy..."- Fretworks Frontiers
http://stations.mp3s.com/stations/98/fretworks_frontiers.html "Johnny's music is universal in the truest sense of the term. It embraces the musics of this world and anticipates those yet to be discovered in the future. In a recent concert at Pauline Oliveros Foundation's Gallery at Deep Listening Space, Johnny's riveting performance transported the audience across time to places MTV can only dream about." - Joe McPhee http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/124/joe_mcphee.html Cadence Magazine said Joe McPhee is: "Probably the best saxophone/cornet instrumentalist in the history of jazz."
