  1. Chrono Trigger was my entry into the world of video games. I was about 6 when I was first introduced to it. My older brother had rented it and I was really intrigued by the game. I had no concept of the story or dialogue, but the music and imagery drew me in and I watched him play it on a daily basis. He then sat me down and taught me how to play through it and ever since then I've been hooked on JRPGs. I remember that it was available to rent at a local video store and I must have rented it every weekend for about a year. I was the only kid that rented it and as soon as I walked into the store the workers new which game I was grabbing. The music also had an extremely large impact on my development as a musician and from a young age I was figuring out the game's music by ear on the piano. I've been a part of many fan based projects through various groups and through Chrono Compendium, SquareSound (Dhsu would remember this site well ;-)). As this game has had such a large impact on my life I decided a tribute album was in order which is why I'm leading a project to release an album by my group the OC Jazz Collective in August. Hard to believe this game has been out for 2 decades!

  2. Chrono Trigger had its Japanese release 20 years ago today! Let's discuss our greatest memories of this game! Also, take a look at my groups project "Chronology: 20 Years of Chrono Trigger" over in the project forums, slated to release in August to coincide with the NA release.

  3. Oh man! Sonny Clark is the man Markus! I've got a couple of his albums on vinyl (including that one). Make sure to check out his trio with Max Roach and George Duvier.

    Bill Evans was good friends with Sonny and wrote a tune with a title that was an anagram of his name "NYC's No Lark"
