The state of things on both a global and a personal level have lately been quite challenging for many people.  All of it weighs heavily on my heart and mind, and I feel a strong urge to do what I can to lighten the load, for those that I love, and also for myself.
Here then is my take on this wise and inspiring message, composed by the great Abbey Lincoln...

THROW IT AWAY

Here's a little something to kick off Summer on a bright note...pretty sure you all know this one! Threw it together in the studio in about an hour, with one take on the flute, so it's not perfect but definitely fun. 
Here's to Summer, people!😎


SUMMERTIME MONTUNO

Here are three of my favorite jazz covers for flute.  I don't often record non-original material, but these are pieces I have known and loved for years. "Flute Thing" was originally done by The Blues Project, and was a very early influence on me as a flutist.   I tracked this one several years ago, but never released it.  "Sea Journey" is a new recording of one of my many favorite Chick Corea compositions. I love playing this on keyboards as much as I do on flute.  "Impressions of Aranjuez", a recording begun several years ago but only recently finished,  is a condensed version of the famed "Concierto de Aranjuez" by Rodrigo, which jazz fans might know as the intro to Chick Corea's "Spain". I hope you enjoy these recordings as much as I did making them.
