CD アロンソ・アレオラ (ムジカ・ホリゾンタル)
「メキシコのジャコパス」の惹句でウへーと思い、おそるおそるプレイボタンを押してみたのだけど、堂に入ったグルーヴと屈折したアイディアにちと驚いた、どういう人脈か、キンクリのT・ガンやD・フュジンスキーも参加して、ダーク・アンビエント風からデメトリオとスタンリー・クラークの共演みたいな展開まで多芸。ジャコには少しも似てないけど。

アロンソは、人間として、またミュージシャンとして私にインスピレーションを与えてくれます。彼はただの優れたベースプレーヤーというだけではなく、素晴らしいミュージシャンであり、想像力豊かな作曲家でもあります。彼が次に何をするか、心待ちにしています。
"Alonso is an inspiration to me as a person and a musician. He's not just a good bass player but a wonderful musician and a creative composer. I look forward to hearing what he does next."

"Alonso Arreola has made one of the freshest progressive records I have heard in years. Just the other morning I was listening to my iPod in random mode and this wicked bass playing came into my ears. I thought “Wow! Who is that bass player?” I looked it up and it was Alonso. It was terrifically exciting to play on Alonso’s CD. And, when I received the final release I was stunned by how filled it was with fantastic, adventurous music played superbly".

"Alonso Arreola is a daring bass player and composer. I'm fortunate to have worked with and am honored to be on his CD. What I love about Alonso is that he let me be myself!!"

●マイケル・マンニング
"Alonso Arreola is one of my favorite artists. He is a brilliant musician who intermingles seemingly disparate elements (electronica, literature, rock, chamber music, improvisation, social consciousness, indigenous and folk musics, etc.) to create harmony in both the literal and abstract sense. His keen awareness of his place in the cultural/sociological timeline and his caring connection to his history and culture make for an art that is deep, meaningful and important."
