AfuriKo’s new music really flies in the face of jazz, opening up your ears to a world of possibilities. [...] The
Queens, NY-based duo of Akiko Horii and Jim Funnell throw out all preconceptions in a truly enjoyable jazz-fusion album [...]. Tao features the African-infused jazz duo doing what they were born to do on nine completely and unapologetically individual and eccentric, yet musically pleasing instrumental tracks, focusing entirely on a higher plane.
