***** - Pertti Laesmaa, Voima

"Salesvuo has done superb songs which some of them have clear hit potential. They are full of funky
rhythm which strenght is guaranteed by Maestro Salesvuo himself.”
- Timo Vähäsilta, Jazzrytmit Web Magazine
"EFA is fireworks of brilliant Funk-rhythms! Funk is not dead!"
- Mikko Kaakkuriniemi, Viidakkorumpu
"Tomi has a sense of melody and groove that is not heard everyday and he manages to combine
catchy vocal lines with funky hornlines and his own smoking rythm-keeping, making this album a
very fine example of music- not just made in Finland but made for the whole world to hear."
- Nils Landgren, Funk-Artist from Sweden
