Intense!

Girl, I play the flute and I am enjoying this. I would buy your album! I love this video, because it is funny seeing the priest/pastor. He looks like he doesn't know if he should bob his had or get up and do a gig.

Very melodic solo with nice ideas. Good, crisp tone. You are going places for sure! Just came from your "Eye of the Hurricane" video, BTW.

I am a huge Herbie fan too. My favorite pianist/composer along with Chick C.

Wonderful ♥

I floated away on a Maiden Voyage ... I floated on your lovely tone.

Thanks for speaking on your flute amping. Your Roland KC-60 w/ Boss pedal an Loop Station, DD, and other sweet stuff is real nice. Ali Ryerson ... yes so amazing. Have you caught alto flute fever yet? It's hard not to when you hear Ali.  Lots of love to you. It's such a thrill to hear you play.

Church attendance must skyrocket with you in the congregation. God bless you.

Swing on sister,

Jazzy Jazz (Kansas City)

@biomanmusic

Sorry for the delay answering. I study classically too, but my jazz teacher was, and still is, the amazing Ali Ryerson.

@ThePrimordialAtom Thanks for the nice words. Okay, here's the chain, going from from flute to amp: SD Systems LMC-70 flute mic / SD Systems pocket preamp / Boss Volume pedal / Boss RC-2 Loop Station / Boss DD-7 Digital Delay / t.c. electronics NR-1 Nova reverb unit / BBE Sonic Stomp / Roland KC-60 amp. (lately though, when I need to amplify just the flute, and not the low end of a background track, I've started using a Fishman Solo Amp - great sound)

[FluteTeen]

@FluteTeen - Update: the Fishman is gone. Using a Roland SA-300. Even better.
