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."
Musical Memories by Dee Dee MacNeil
"Without doubt, Haruna is a noteworthy composer/arranger and she brings joy to her project with her flautist mastery,
excitement and spontaneous energy."
