Originality

'This is a listening treat! These sonic inventions are intricate in their melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic development. At times I am reminded of the beauty of Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmond, as these unique and wonderful textures unfold to reveal the creative personalities of the musicians performing. A joyful exuberance abounds as the diverse styles (Latin, Jazz, and Classical) are blended together to create a truly enjoyable musical journey.' - Ken Pullig, Jazz Composition Chair of Berklee College of Music 'Mina's music is fresh. Being grounded in a wide variety of jazz, her compositions are like journeys to different exotic places, each piece offering it's own flavor, some wild fervor, some a hard hitting yet playful groove, others more melancholic but all emotionally rewarding. As a pianist, Mina commands the piano with great skill, her playing exudes joy, playfulness and vitality while providing plenty of space for her sidemen to shine. ' - Tim Lukas, a Producer of Blink Music.
