"When I was 19, a student at the University of Toronto, I happened to meet Tisziji, to hear him play, and I was immediately galvanized by his music, its content and the conviction therein. I naturally began to play with and learn from him regularly, in his band for two years, and more infrequently until today. Tisziji was the key in opening many musical doors for me, and continues to illustrate, for me, that music is but a means of spiritual discovery, communication and maybe, to some degree, enlightenment. Tisziji, thanks for the lift!" —Paul Shaffer

P.S. This was the cat who got me into the business!"

"Like Carlos Santana, John McLaughlin, Sonny Sharrock, Alan Holdsworth and Sonny Greenwich, Tisziji Muñoz has drawn musical and spiritual inspiration from the great jazz saxophonist John Coltrane. The aforementioned players are known for their individuality, vibrant improvisational style, technical mastery and spiritual depth. In these respects Muñoz stands shoulder to shoulder with his more famous colleagues. How can such a great player be virtually unknown? The answer lies in the story of Tisziji's life, which is as singular as the music it has produced." —Henry Kaiser, Guitar Player Magazine
