Dear Luxury Experience,
Thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful review of my album!! The music scene really needs generous people like you to write about unknown artists like me, and it’s so refreshing that Luxury Experience really takes it to heart.
Thanks again!

Dear Edward:
You gave me a very nice review some time ago when my disc “Gordon Johnson GJ4” came out, which I still appreciate so much!
Meanwhile, I got your newsletter and checked out the article about Stanley’s new acoustic trio disc (The Stanley Clarke Trio – Jazz In The Garden). So glad to hear about it and know he did a new disc on upright bass! It’s a real departure and I’m downloading it right now.

Dear Edward,
Thanks so much for your kind words about my latest CD, “Mr. Sun.” It is reassuring to know there are people out there that are getting it!!
I loved making this record more than any other, so it is a joy to me when it connects with the listener……..thanks again…..

As Jude Johnstone’s manager I am constantly promoting her music. It is an especially difficult task getting exposure for an independent artist like Jude, but Luxury Experience has been very receptive to hearing and reviewing her music.
One can tell Edward takes the time to really digest the music. He understands the emotions and passions that goes into the writing and recording of each song and truly feels the music. This is rare in today’s climate of instant gratification and celebrity. He appreciates real artists and is willing to say so. Thanks Edward for the support.

“Dear Edward,
I would like to Thank You from the bottom of my heart for the great review that you did on my new CD “The Jazz Life”. As an independent jazz musician/record label owner it is sometimes hard to get people with publications as prestigious as yours to give us a listen. You have been so gracious and shown so much support that is simply overwhelming. Thank you and Luxury Experience again.”
Peace & Blessings,

“Hi Edward and Luxury Experience:
Your review of my work in [the jimi project] has touched me deeply.
Jimi Hendrix has been an international icon for so long I feel that it is impossible not only to be affected by his great body of work as a guitarist, but also as a great songwriter.
The ‘tone’ of your review was so respectful not only to me, but especially to the artistry of Jimi and what I attempted to portray – thank you!
You should also know how much I appreciate your care and reverence in not only hearing what was done with [the jimi project], but your awareness of the essence of Jimi’s spirit that guided me from it’s very inception.
I am honored and humbled that you expressed so much.
Your review is insightful and adventurous, and truly, the spirit of your website is in the forefront, the real vanguard of all types of discovery…you – ARE the CURVE – Bravo!”

“Dear Ed and Debra,
Thank you so much for choosing to feature the Chris Bergson Band in LUXURY EXPERIENCE. It was great to meet both of you in person and I really appreciated you taking the time to come and hear my band live.
Your excellent feature interview and most insightful CD review have helped to expose my music to a whole new audience. I really enjoyed reading the interviews and profiles of the other bands featured in the Music section and I was thrilled and felt honored to find myself in such good company. You and Ed are truly amazing in your unique ability to keep one ear to the ground and find interesting artists that haven’t necessarily been covered in the mainstream media. Thanks again for helping to spread the word about my music. Keep up all the great work!”
All the best,

“Dear Ed & Debra,
Throughout my thirty five years as a song writer, musician, producer and performer, many of persons have written about me globally.
However at this time I must proclaim, the article and review featured in your March 2006 edition of “Luxury Experience” about me and my music is by far, the most profound condensed version ever. I couldn’t have done it better myself.
The both of you are committed to your passion. Your love for the same is lavishly reflected in your works. The poetry with heart award is yours. Anyone who is fortunate enough to be graced by you gifts, will definitely feel, see and comprehend the same.
So say’s Stone McEwan.”

“Jump4Joy ran into Edward F. Nesta of Luxury Experience during a delirious gig at Stampen – our home base in Stockholm. You meet people all the time that say they do this and that and write about stuff and you give away cd’s thinking – yeah right…and every once in a while somebody follows through with ambition, professionalism and soul, like Luxury Experience did for us. I like people with a passion. They sure seem to fit the bill. Support them if you are into Luxury Experiences – they will spread the gospel!”
