In other occasion he would play standard tunes with jazz quartet[1] formation. He finally met Suriandika Satjadibrata and Baim in 1997. The three young men agreed to form a band called Ada Band. Seharusnya was the first album released in 1997 and the song with the same title got the success. Krishna successfully brought Ada Band[2] to be one of the popular bands in the country. Masih, Yang Terbaik Bagimu, Haruskah Ku Mati, and Manusia Bodoh are some of the hit. Ada Band on the other hand was able to feature Dave Koz to play 'Masih'. Meanwhile, he was not completely forgot jazz and released a solo album 'Sign of Eight' in 2002, his first jazz album.[3] Indra Lesmana, Gilang Ramadhan, Dewa Budjana, Tohpati[4] and Indro Hardjodikoro contributed to Krishna’s[5] jazz[6] project.
