I have to admit upfront that I love jazz flute so I approached this CD with a bias. Andrea Brachfeld recently won Best Flute in the Hot House Jazz Awards, so she can really play and she has a wonderful group of musicians working with her on this CD. Bill O’Connell is an exceptionally melodic pianist and both bassist Rufus Reid and drummer Winard Harper are rock solid. I think Harper is one of the most creative and imaginative drummers on the scene today and he is in fine form. Andrea has complied a great mix of originals and classics and when Wycliffe Gordon joins on Herbie Mann’s ‘Memphis Underground” look out! I highly recommend this very listenable CD and hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do. [5 stars]
