Nika Rejto's NAKED EMOTIONS is an example of fine contemporary jazz flute, and she is the complete mistress of her instrument -- never a harsh note sounded, only classic notes played in a straight-ahead, inventive fashion that entertains as well as charms the jazz listener! The 7 selections are composed by Nika Rejto, and the lyrics are written by her. Selections include the captivating "More Than Just A Dream," "Let's Go Swimming in the Ozone," "Kareem," "Flight of Meshaun / Now I See the Sea," "Ruff Stuff," "Cous Cous," and "Coming Home Again." Enjoyable jazz music from a great flute performer!

If you are looking for a jazz musician that really knows the ins and outs of the flute, give a listen to the remarkable Nika Rejto and discover she is more than just a dream, she is reality come true with her flute, and her vocals. NAKED EMOTIONS is a winner! Very nice!!!!
