"Holly Hofmann has single-handedly destroyed the stereotype of the delicate female flutist, thanks to her muscular attack and improvisational abandon."

—Los Angeles Times

"Along with Hubert Laws, Holly is frankly the best jazz flute player today."

— Phil Woods

"Holly Hofmann is a leading force in changing the perception of jazz flute. While she can interpret ballads with unabashed lyricism she is just as likely to tear through a blues, artfully employing honks and growls."

— Andrew Gilbert,
Bay Area Jazz Writer
