"Naima is the magnificent new release from violin virtuoso Meg Okura and the Pan Asian Chamber Jazz Ensemble.
Aptly named after one of John Coltrane's famous compositions, Naima is marvelously diverse mixing the past, present and future."
"Okura has made a bold statement with Naima, ensuring her place among the top names playing chamber jazz."
"Ms. Okura's vibrant, Eastern-influenced, jazzy score and the playing of her musicians were the most sophisticated parts of the work" "...(some of) the best jazz New York has to offer."
"...mixes a classically trained mastery of strings, piano and drums with quick-witted compositional twist performed with high energy."
