”This is a wonderfully constructed CD. The solos are
beautiful. It is probably the best Latin Jazz CD I’ve
heard in five years!”
ANDY KAUFMAN
Owner of Birdland Jazz Club, New York City

”Song for My Mother has great energy and feel. Julie is an up
and coming, rising star in the Latin and Jazz idioms.
The arrangements are very interesting and accessible,
and the musicians were selected in very good taste.
This CD is a joy to listen to!”
JOANNE BRACKEEN

”I really enjoyed the playing on this CD. The arrangements are
original and have a flavor all their own. From the beginning
to the end, this CD is a great listen.”
DON SEBESKY

”Reed Player, Julie Bluestone recognized the fruits of her dreams.
Jazz is a passion and one must be committed to it,
for the process and growth is inevitable.
Bluestone produced and arranged and played
alto and flute on this CD. Many fine tunes and various disciplines,
from Latin, Behop to smooth, Song for My Mother displays
a burgeoning talent.”
DICK CROCKETT; PROGRAM DIRECTOR
Still Another Jazz Show; 88.7 fm, Sacramento, CA

”The recent release of alto-sax flutist, Julie Bluestone’s Song For
My Mother has been in the top 20 of my list for several weeks
now… …great solid musicianship, wonderful songs. These
recordings should be played on all jazz shows!”
JIM CLARK; JAZZ MUSIC DIRECTOR/HOST
South Dakota Public Radio Network

”Throughout Song for My Mother, Julie’s got it all goin’ on.
Leading her quartet and little big band.
Cooking up a storm on altosaxophone and flute.
Writing. Arranging. Jazz. Latin Jazz. Be-bop Jazz.
Smooth Jazz. Bluesy Jazz. And major league players who’ve blown
with everyone from Clark Terry to Michael Feinstein to Tito Puente.
Dig that! No wonder this music’s got a sound all its own.”
