Nicole Mitchell and Michel Edelin: The Ethiopian Princess Meets the Tantric Priest

Read "Nicole Mitchell and Michel Edelin: The Ethiopian Princess Meets the Tantric Priest" reviewed by Howard Mandel


Nicole Mitchell and Michel Edelin are two of the most creative flutists in music of any sort today, brilliant improvisers with highly developed sensitivities to sound who share a passion for collaborating in real time. Yet their personal approaches to playing one of the oldest instruments in the world represent two far ends of an esthetic spectrum. “We have exactly the same musical interests and influences," Mitchell has said, “but we come to the music from such different directions!"

Michel Edelin Trio: Kuntu

Read "Kuntu" reviewed by John Sharpe


Perennially unfashionable and plagued by perceptions of insufficient heft and timbral variation, it's not surprising that flute-based trios are rarer than an apologetic banker. Not that this troubles the Paris-based RogueArt label, as straight after the Indigo Trio's Anaya (2009) comes another, this time under the direction of flautist Michel Edelin. Past associations for the Frenchman include Byard Lancaster, Barry Altschul and Steve Potts, though the majority of his projects have been European, with the likes of Daniel Humair and ...
