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 SKU : ADIB00000G4NT
