“... Jahari gives us chameleonic grooves anchored by impeccable arpeggios that rise and fall against dense, driving rhythms. He effortlessly balances whimsical notions and melancholic chords with fiery percussive statements that capture the complex and sweet moments of life.” - Karas Lamb - Revive Music
