Press Reviews "The music is wonderfully unique. An ingenius blend of jazz, rock, and new age. Many guitar oriented songs with awe-striking solos as well as divinely inspired keyboard work... ...A versatile guitarist and keyboardist, Gotz moves between Frisellian space jazz; pastoral, Metheny-esque Fusion; chilly, beat-driven new age; and polished, vocal-oriented Adult Contemporary." - Listen.com... ... "Thanks for providing me with great inspiration to my ears especially after a long day with too many leftover thoughts to shuffle into order! Tortuga managed to take me away to a beach in South Carolina where temps were warmer and a blinding sun glistened almost like dancers atop the water. Yes...I am inspired! Thank you... Fredia"... ... "…solos that Metheny and Scofield would be proud of."… Larry Wayfarer... ..."Mantra" is absolutely brilliant. P.M.
