"Nika Rejto brought the house down!..."
Downbeat Magazine, re: Hubert Laws Concert at Dorothy Chandler Pavilion
“Your playing is wonderful!!!!”
Hubert Laws
“One of the nation’s finest flutists!”
San Francisco Jazz Festival
"Rejto is one of the most exciting flute players to stake a claim in the vast territory of mainstream jazz in recent years.”
Andy Gilbert
“She had an audience of over 2,000 in her hand -
It was very obvious we had a major musician on stage.”
Dr. Herb Wong, Producer of Bridge Weaver
“A luminous flutist with a gorgeous new recording.”
Andrew Gilbert (referring to Teazing Socrates)
“A versatile flutist with a warm tone, impressive technique, and the ability to improvise with keeping the melody close by, Nika Rejto is the main star throughout this strong effort. The music explores jazz standards and ballads, original classical melodies, hints of Indian and Latin music, and pieces that cross quite a few musical boundary lines. Rejto is consistently colorful and inventive, making this both an explorative and an accessible effort.” [Scott Yanow, All Music Guide (Teazing Socrates)]
