5 out of 5 stars Masa Sumide, Acoustic Guitar Ace.......2001-09-16

As a fan of Masa Sumide's work for quite some time, I'm pleased to see his work reaching a wider audience with the release of this Collection Cd, with some of the best cuts from his first three Australian releases. I'm only glad that someone else had to make the decisions as to what to include! A hard choice, as this artist's work is so consistent in it's quality. From the percussive swing of "Groovy Kind of Woman", to the more introspective pieces such as "How Many Tomorrows", the range is impressive. The precision and superior sense of melody that Masa Sumide shows in all of his work really sets him apart from the crowd. These all-original compositions are so well-orchestrated on a single acoustic guitar, that you never even think that this is just one instrument you're listening to. An excellent introduction to an artist of some considerable depth!

5 out of 5 stars Cool & Groovy.......2001-08-23

This guy can play! Honestly speaking, I haven't been too keen on solo guitar music up until now...but this best-of CD by Masa Sumide has turned my thinking around and given me insight into "one-man band" music. The last track "One Heart", in particular, is so beautiful it will bring tears to your eyes. It did when I first listened to it. This album is a winner and will stay on my play-list forever.

5 out of 5 stars A must-have!.......2001-08-23

What a groovy CD! I can't get over the fact that this is a solo guitar album. Masa Sumide does an amazing job of incorporating jazz, blues and funk elements into his highly original tunes and has succeeded in presenting them in one well put-together album.

He's got it all - technique, unique style, melodic sense, sensibility etc. If you're in the market for great acoustic guitar music, look no further.

Do yourself a favor and get a copy!
