"It is great to see fellow bassists be the driving force behind a new CD. Darryl Anders is such a force for “Believe in Love”. Darryl wrote most of the music, produced and laid down the groove that makes it all come together"

It's not enough anymore to simply argue for "real music" these days...This project reopens the case with a vengeance and with purpose by simply being put out in then universe. Tell everybody you know about it. Brother Darryl has given us something we can all hang some hope on. This is another drop from the "top-of-the-key" for real music.

"Darryl expertly blends Soul with Jazz and R&B, aligning himself with the best of those in our favorite musical direction. The songs make a seamless transition between musical genres, especially when the band’s bass player (Anders) gives himself the proper space" (read full translated review here)
