Philippe is a unique keyboard player, composer and producer - on top of that he is a very humble and really nice guy!

That last album was Masques, Saisse's acclaimed Verve Forecast debut (and his third solo release), hailed in Jazziz magazine for its "exciting sonics and textures" and in the Utne Reader as "a frothy stew of chillin' music". Masques elevated Saisse's profile as a solo recording artist, further demonstrating what Keyboard Magazine had called his ability to "set higher standards for the adult contemporary field". NeXT Voyage takes Saisse's personal vision to even loftier levels of musical refinement and popular appeal.

I am totally knocked out by the Scarbee C.E.P.! I use it all the time now whenever a real "classic electric piano" sound is required. Keep up the great work! - Philippe Saisse
