carries his father with him – imprinted on his physical being and locked in his
soul. It’s in his looks, his joy, and his music.

straight-ahead jazz and contemporary styles. Linda is something of an
inconspicuous insurgent in the regional jazz kingdom. Her adeptness on flute is

ideas on flute, and about how to push jazz beyond its own boundaries.
