Reviews
HOT HOUSE JAZZ MAGAZINE (COVER AND CD REVIEW)
“This album affirms that a flute-led group can be as viable as more conventional front lines.”

NEW YORK JAZZ RECORDS
“For a flutist to go head-to-head with a soprano saxophone in a bop milieu takes a lot of guts, and in those contexts and contests, Fukazawa is exceptional. Her elegance and thoughtful arrangements are a welcome fresh voice to a scene that too often features heavy-handed solos and senseless speed.”

JAZZ WEEKLY
“Fukazawa has a wonderful tone and an implied pulse.”
​
CD HOTLIST
“...Best of all is her warm, woody, swinging tone. This is one of the best jazz flute albums I've heard in a long time.”
