In the last five years a couple of albums turned the attention to a remarkably gifted German lady with French roots who finally is achieving long overdue popular recognition: Isabelle Bodenseh, a musician who constantly amazes with her personality and performance. An improvising soloist and skillful composer with a sense of flowing melodic lines, a strong sense of rhythm, a wealth of playing techniques, and an extremely rich tonal palette on a variety of flutes, she is an all encompassing musician whose combination of classical training, experience in modern and latin jazz, flamenco, salsa and more areas, and her curiosity to step beyond, allows her to tell her own stories with her compositions.
