Ken Okada Group feat. YOYOKA’s third studio album, “Crossing Over,” is out now. The title track is a strong statement of the band’s ongoing artistic evolution and fearlessness of sound. This release is a bold step forward for the band, dedicated to creative exploration and musical connection, blending jazz, funk, rock, and world influences.
“Crossing Over” is a statement on evolution based on the idea of going beyond the limits of regular genres. Ken Okada’s expressive electric bass and YOYOKA’s dynamic drumming demonstrate their chemistry, along with the contributions of a talented lineup that includes Ben Torres on tenor sax, Hristo Vitchev on guitar, Murray Low on piano and keyboards, and Shido Soma on guitar.
The record’s impact is further bolstered by the production team, including detailed engineering by Doug Pohorski and Billy Burke, mixing by Will Kennedy, and mastering by Jett Galindo. The sound is clean, captures the band’s energy, and still lets each instrument have its own voice. “Crossing Over” is a testament to a group that is still reinventing its artistic identity with fearless musicianship and boundary-pushing direction.
