Description
A central figure of New York City's jazz and Afro-Cuban scenes over the last five decades, flutist Andrea Brachfeld, like most artists over the last two
years, found a great amount of time to reflect on her art, community and humanity. For Evolution, Brachfeld's writing was affected by her dive into
children's issues and the ongoing need of basic necessities even in the best of times. The added pandemic led her to a wide range of musical sources,
each reflecting some universal message of the human condition. "Qingauiit" from the Inuit duo Tudjaat, "The Hut Song" from the Central African Baka
people, and Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach's "Ko Ribon" inject voices of discovery, trauma and celebration. With her longtime compatriots fully onboard, the
music is allowed to respond to the myriad influences, deftly blending into a distinctive voice. "(Brachfeld) spellbinds with her assured virtuosity and
clear emotional projections..." - DOWNBEAT
"This band's balance of taut cohesion and adventurous improvisation is mighty impressive." DOWNBEAT
