"Akiko plays her personality...intense, positive, energetic and joyous. She plays to make others sound as good as they possibly can. It is always a joy to share the stage with her and play off of each other's energy." I look forward to many more great musical experiences from her AND with her!" Jeff Hamilton

"Akiko Tsuruga ranks as one of the top organists around today." Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
