(Jamie Baum voted #1 Rising Star in the Flute category of the 2012 DownBeat Critics Poll)
For several years, flutist/composer Jamie Baum had been toying with the idea of forming a group of like-minded musicians to honor the late great jazz pianist, saxophonist, composer, arranger, and educator, Jaki Byard. Since his untimely passing in 1999, it was just a matter of time before someone would come forward to explore this yet untapped body of music. Now that time has come.
