About this item
Review
Since both contemporary and acid jazz focus on smooth, groove-oriented music, it was just a matter of time before the underground movement's programmed rhythms found their way into contemporary-jazz studios. 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.

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
