Music is a fascinating universe to explore, learn and enjoy endlessly and compositions of pop, rock, jazz, latin or ethnic styles and mixing these styles and elements are my message to you. Debut jazz record Fragments & Fusion covers twelve melodic instrumental musical tracks in fusion-jazz style with pop-rock-latin flavor. REVIEWS: Jazzrhytms - The Web Jazz Magazine in Finland 3/2011: “Chatty and chill-out, a sweetly smooth, relaxed in rhythms ... smooth jazz, fusion, crossover ... in any way you like. In every case, easy to listen to. Lightly enjoyable. However, done with care. … Saksa has managed to create a balanced entity with respect to moving in etheric atmosphere of smooth jazz. Atmosphere which is at its best in obscure peace. With lone-star special. Enjoying life in serenity. ... Quite a few records of this genre are created in our country, so in that sense, this album is a great addition to our jazz spectrum. It is worth listening to. Enjoying a share of unhurried life.” ReviewYou - Bryan Rodgers, May 2011 "It’s more Dire Straits than Weather Report, more John Scofield than Mahavishnu Orchestra. ... “Eki Kympin Ansa Viritetty” and the Pat Metheney-esque “Ugly Red Elevator” also delve further into more pronounced, forceful rhythms, with the pockets balanced by plenty of distorted guitar and sharp sax work. Most listeners have probably never heard a Finnish band laying down thick funk-rock beats under a wild sax solo, but there’s a first time for everything. ... “Sampai Jumpa Lagi” utilizes the kantele’s mystic tones to achieve a devotional, religious sort of atmosphere, not that the band doesn’t do an admirable job on their own. The sound of the kantele is similar to a hammered dulcimer, but shaper and more bell-like. The sound is instant karma on eastern-facing tunes like “Sampai Jumpa Lagi” and “So Lovely and Joyful,” the latter of which features a vaguely Celtic melody augmented by violin. ... “Riverside” is the first instance of the band’s advertised Latin influence, and it’s a tad cheesy, but the band does sound right at home tackling the style. Gröhn seems to come alive during the song, as does Salomaa, and Saksa navigates the tune’s sharp curves with abandon. " Desibeli.net - Rami Turtiainen, 16.6.2011 "Erityisesti Eki Kympin Ansa Viritetty (Eki 10's Trap Triggered) ja Ugly Red Elevator vievät progressiivisella otteellaan mielleyhtymät jonnekin fuusio-kraut-pioneeri Kraanin suuntaan." ... "Vaikka vaikutteet eri tyylilajeista kaikuvatkin pääosin omilla itsenäisillä raidoillaan, on yleisväri silti suhteellisen saumattoman kuuloinen." Herrasmiehistelyä blogi - Jouni Hallikainen, 15.6.2011 "Oli näet ilo saada käsiin kotimaista omatuotanto-jazzia ja vielä enemmän iloa tuli herrasmiehen eloon, kun havaitsin tuon tuotoksen varsin mieltä ylentäväksi materiaaliksi." "Koko levy huokuu hauskaa omaehtoista ja käsityöhenkistä fiilistä. Ketään ei koetella kosiskella ja suuria areenoita ei tavoitella. Tällaista on musiikki silloin, kun sitä tehdään omaksi iloksi ja soittamisen riemusta."
