"...his deep-pocketed, Marcus-like slap grooves will leave you pondering this California bassist''s thumb."

UCLA''s Daily Bruin Online (Oct ''01)
"Norm possesses the rare combination of exceptional chops and broad musical sensibility...''Pondering the Sushi'' is evidence of exactly that."
Roland Users Group Magazine (Fall ''01)
"What a great sounding disc...I am so glad you are sharing your music with the world. You are a great player."
Adam Nitti
"Unlike most debut releases which only contain maybe 2 or 3 compelling selections carefully placed among a collection of mediocre sounding ''filler'' music, Pondering the Sushi is a musically sophisticated effort from beginning to end. You will not hear a weak link...I can''t ever recall hearing a bassist sound so comfortable in so many different settings. Norm sounds like a veteran recording artist on this, his first solo release! Bottom Line: Pondering the Sushi is one of the strongest debut outings that has ever come across my desk."

Chris Jisi (contributing editor, Bass Player magazine)
"I am sitting here just DIGGING on the Sushi record. Been listening to it all afternoon. Great, great stuff."
