Hailed as a "talented young player" with "the skills to go far" by Westword (Denver), Aakash Mittal has been making a name for himself at home and abroad. His debut CD "Possible Beginnings" has been acclaimed as "simply brilliant." (Colorado Music Buzz) and "an amazing lineup of all original music."
