Hey look......It's not like women can't play!! Marsha Heydt can certainly play. In fact, she's a flat out reed savant. Containing a lovely tone, she introduced me to her talent with her take on the eternal classic ''Green Dolphin Street.'' I'm blown away. Heydt 'sections' her pieces allowing for nice long ample space for improvisation. Her style is what I might classify as poppy or pastel, certainly assertive & authoritative. It's a very creative experience for any listener as she develops her musical ideas
for our edification.
There's a certain yearning quality implicit in her playing that is warming to one's sensibilities. All in all, this is a virtuoso that combines all the 'right stuff' contained in jazz rhythyms, tonalities, melody. harmony........Just outright
raw & viable music She's a keeper.
