A full-flavored delight.' ---Derek Sivers, President of cdbaby.com. * * * 'The combination of determination and artistry in Dwayne Kerr is something I would very frankly (and selfishly) like to clone for young aspiring musicians! The fact that this CD is so melodic and inspired was no surprise to me, having followed Dwayne's career from the beginning. I just wish I could send him on a tour around the country to impact thousands of others who lack his focus and character, not to mention diligence as an artist.' ---Kirk Whalum, Warner Brothers Records * * * 'As I watch my friend in amazement, the high tones and the trills become part of me, helping me to grow on stage. I don't know which is sweeter, his tone or his soul.' ---Erykah Badu, Motown Records * * * 'It is wonderful. Spiritually and musically superb. Dwayne Kerr's CD release, Flutation, showcases this Erykah Badu musical cohort in a sort of emotional flute stream of comfort and intrigue as we go from jazz to soul to soft R&B by this outstanding player....

With the emotion he brings to his playing sans lyrics, Kerr easily pulls off the hard task of bringing music to life like a piece of classical music emotes a tale with it's intonations and musical movements. This one is definitely high quality, and will hopefully be up and running on our light jazz stations soon. Wonderfully put together piece of fine musicianship.' ---Carol Anne Szel, The Inside Connection (national music magazine) * * * 'Turn down the lights, light the fire, put on Flutation, close your eyes and lay back, it's gonna move you! This magical genus touches my senses with a little contemporary jazz to soft R&B. Dwayne Kerr, of the Erykah Badu Band, shows his extraordinary-seasoned talent with his debut CD. It is fresh, light and purification to my pallet.' ---t. jewels, Long Island Entertainment * * * 'Consummate musicianship and songwriting. Dwayne Kerr's CD has given so much quality musicianship and songs to my radio shows. Plus, his new CD brings R&B, jazz and funk to the party. I have been talking to my musical friends all week about this CD.' ---Joe Kelley, The Upper Room with Joe Kelley, WVOF 88.5 FM, Fairfield, CT * * * DWAYNE KERR BIO His masterful mix of sight and sounds is the memorable variable that makes flutist Dwayne Kerr, of the Erykah Badu band (Neda Stela), a popular figure in contemporary music today. Playing an instrument that traditionally has been heard more often than seen, Kerr has put the flute up front on display with his unique playing style and riveting stage persona. Dwayne attracts audiences of all ages with his broad musical vision, blending contemporary jazz, R&B, hip hop, funk and dance rhythms in a creation he calls,'SoulJazz.' His flute easily is recognizable as Dwayne incorporates melodies that linger in your mind, with silky long runs and his signature technique-the staccato, double-tongued riff. Playing through a wireless headset microphone gives Kerr the freedom to move, spin, dance to the grooves and venture out to play in the audience. This crowd-pleasing performance style leaves audiences with an indelible image of Kerr not usually associated with a flutist. 'My live show is a combination of the musical and visual interpretation of the mood being created on stage,' Dwayne explained. 'I use my flute as a vehicle for my musical expression, without regard of the usual limitations expected from a flutist. The listener gets an emotional experience that goes beyond me playing the flute. I've included the visual aspect to heighten the audience's expectation and show them that an instrumentalist also can be an entertainer.' Ker
