Arau's 'Missouri Blues' toys with the edges of funk and fusion, and he puts grit into his tone to match. ...Good music based on strong roots.". Saxophone Journal noted, "Those who we remember best--Bach, Telemann, Vivaldi, Haydn and Mozart--did it all. Today there are very few who do it all, and an incredibly small proportion of them do it all extremely well. One who does is Javier Arau."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.javierarau.com/press/#testimonials )〕 In 2009, he founded New York Jazz Academy, a NYC-based music school.
