“YES turned 50
the year I turned 50 and Geoff Downes was one of the reasons I became a
keyboardist myself! To celebrate and pay tribute to YES's music with
Geoff, Jon and Billy along with so many incredible musicians from
different bands and generations has truly been a blast. YES are a big
influence for me and my own music. This album was a great way for
myself, Fernando and all of us to show our love for both the songs and
the many great people who have been part of YES going all the way back
to their very first album!” - Dave Kerzner, co-producer, Yesterday and
Today
“The Beatles were my first love,
then YES became the logical next step of evolution in my musical
upbringing. YES have it all, songwriting equal to musicianship and
creativity. The sonic bliss I got listening to their catalog incessantly
when I was 10 years old left a permanent mark on me.
“As
a producer, I am hugely influenced by the work of YES with Eddie
Offord, Trevor Horn, Paul Clay and Tony Colton behind the board of their
classic material. With the limited technology they had back then, they
were able to create unparalleled sonic textures that were decades ahead
of their time. Creating new versions of these songs was an incredible
challenge even with today's advancements in recording technology. Dave
and I had so much fun amassing the gear and tweaking sounds to recreate
all of the signature sonic elements of YES music.” - Fernando Perdomo,
co-producer, Yesterday and Today
