“Evolution” is not just an album; it’s an eloquent, impassioned plea for humanity.

Brachfeld has serious jazz chops.

“Child of the Earth”, a spoken word affirmation, might be the album’s defining moment. Brachfeld’s delivery reflects the words’ urgency, her gradually rising voice driving the rhythm section relentlessly as the music builds and intensifies beneath her elemental message of acceptance and love.

Brachfeld clearly ranks among the top tier of jazz flutists.

She plays with an enviable fluidity and deep passion…

The first rate composing, arranging , and playing throughout Evolution, establishes it as one of the best releases of the year so far.
