Bird of Beauty

Wendy Zoffer is a flutist extraordinaire. Her clear lilting tone and fluid style are a breath of fresh air to the listener. Classically trained, Wendy has crossed over to the world of jazz, blues and popular standards. She expresses her enthusiasm and love of music whether she plays pop, standards, Broadway, Brazilian, or jazz. Wendy shapes classic melodies with exquisite feeling extracting the full melodic potential of her material-'it sounds as if she is singing through her flute.' The upbeat melodies on this CD will excite anyone who appreciates a finely crafted tune. 'I've known Wendy Zoffer for several years and every time I hear her play the flute she sounds better and better. This CD especially impressed me. Her tone and choice of material is excellent! Wendy can improvise without lossing the message of the song. The jazz trio does a great job accompanying Wendy throughout and the recording sound is as good as any I've heard. This is a CD to be proud of.' ____Richie Cole, world renowned saxophonist The accompanying musicians lend their virtuosity and outstanding musical skills to each number: Pianist Jacey Langford adds her warmth and upswing style to the music.
