“Here is a feast of audio-visual proof that the impossible can be achieved! Here is a beautifully wild record of one man’s fantastic spirit and imagination; here is a document of a legend in the making…HERE IS YALLAH!”

Review: t.b.a.


Step back to the eccentric and vibrant summer 1990 as SoSaLa delivers a wild and entertaining jazz-infused performance.

CD REVIEWS

“In addition to being a vibrant slice of nostalgia, 1994-Live at CBGB highlights a unique period in this multifaceted artist’s output, making for a rewarding listening experience and serving as a superb introduction to Saadat’s work and the sounds of the legendary venue.” – Review by Hrayr Attarian (All About Jazz), March 29, 2025

“These and the other tracks almost conjure a fantasy for me. It’s one where avant-garde sax great Albert Ayler didn’t meet his end in the East River but stayed alive and well and became a part of CBGB’s high-energy punk and No Wave community.” Review by Sal Cataldi (NYS MUSIC), February 22, 2025

“SoSaLa’s latest album, 1994, was released recently. It’s really great No Wave music from this NY-based music activist. Here’s my brief album review.” <ahref=”https://www.scottishjazzspace.co.uk/sosalas-latest-album-1994-was-released-recently-its-really-great-no-wave-music-from-this-ny-based-music-activist-heres-my-brief-album-review/” Review by Fiona Mactaggart (Scottish Jazz Space ), January 23, 2025

“Listening to this album, one relives the days of an earlier age when musicians fearlessly experimented with forms and concepts. Where old rules were broken, and new ones were being written – and broken. Sadato had the vision and balls to introduce No Wave into the Japanese independent rock music scene and make it work.” –  Review by Dawoud Kringle (DooBeeDooBeeDoo NY), December 17th, 2024
