PRESS
"The high quality of the playing and extensive nature of the solos — as well each piece’s compositional development — come as no surprise."- Ron Wynn, Nashville Scene
"a versatile, risk-taking progressive jazz drummer..."
-Jonathan Widran, JAZZIZ
“It is truly progressive and fundamentally jazz—and a reason to be excited about the continuing evolution of jazz in Music City.” Sean Maloney, Nashville Scene
“Her new album Secrets of the Shore is fantastic and lush - in the vein of. Miles with Gil Evans or Maria Schneider. Complex but not out there or overly dissonant. The horn charts are just gorgeous. But live, oh wow I was floored. I don't know where she found these young hotshots, but man the talent in this town is crazy.”- Craig Havighurst, award-winning music journalist.
