Who's that jazz flute player

Post by teacherless »

that I heard her on Radioio Jazz 4 years ago. I wrote her name down and search her on the internet, but she had very little online exposure.
I believe she's middle-age (if still alive) and African American and that she plays the flute exclusively.

Any clues?

Thank you

Are you talking about that lady from Detroit? I think that is Althea Rene

I've done some some research and I think it's more like Sherry Winston, Valarie King or Bobbi Humphrey. That's in terms of age band really. The tune I'm after was more jazzy, but downbeat. King and Winston seem to be more into the Najee smooth-jazz style and Bobbi Humphrey is more funky.
I'll try to dig their repertoire out and see if I can identify the tune.
If you know any other female jazz flautist I'm all ears!!!

Thank you

Maybe you mean Nicole Mitchell from Chicago?
She is influenced by ACCM: Braxton and all those cats
Hope that helps
