"WildWingedOne" is a wonderful entry into the solo trumpet canon. Within a field occupied by such improvisors as Axel Dorner, Greg Kelley, Liz Albee and others, you have established a unique vocabulary which does not rely on extended technique as an "end all" to creation. The mixture of tone, space and dynamics add up to something special. I look forward to discovering more. Thank you.

Great music here, Amy, (I'm just shy saying this after reading the 'press' on your web-page) :)
