"And Of The Son" Press Reviews:
San Francisco jazz flutist Karen Stachels'' smooth, lyrical playing backed up on most pieces by guitar, bass, and drums creates a rhythmic, mellow music that is perfect for the ambiance of a crowded coffee house or jazz club. The Karen Stachel Jazztet is highly recommended for an evening of beautiful jazz mixed with a innovative pieces. -East Bay Express
"Karen Stachel has assembled 16 flute instrumental holiday pieces from "Little Drummer Boy" to "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies" in her CD,
"And of the Son - A Christmas Album of Jazz Flute".
There are no other instruments on the record - only Karen and her flute - and the performances are hypnotic.... The CD Opens with "The Christmas Song", and the spirit winds around the melody as Karen plays an unaccompanied rendition of the classic Torme penned favorite. The highlight of the CD is in track 4''s, "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies". The Nutcracker classic is featured here as Karen has recorded multiple tracks in order to accommodate all of the parts - and the resulting continuity is wonderful. Any time of year, this CD will put you in the musical holiday spirit, for the musicianship and the delightful delivery of the memorable tunes."
