“Anne Drummond is something else again on Like Water: an airy sylph whoselines burrow into the center of the band, embedding her in the middle of each light,ephemeral samba, and become one with the group sound. Unlike most flute soloistswho tend to float over the band, Drummond somehow lets her sound emanatefluidly from ground zero in your psyche.”- AllAboutJazz.com | November 2009

“Curumim” is a bouncy, incisive Brazilian flavored tune that’s perfect for a flute/piano duet such as this one performed by Drummond and M ueller. Drummond’sflute flutters around the piano, stating the melody, playfully jousting with M uellerand inserting mini-solos so seamlessly that her constant role changes go mostlyunnoticed. M ariano’s composition is a strong one, but “Curumim” is greatlybolstered by the rapport between these two players.”- Jazz.com | December 2009

“Drummond takes an understated, lyrical approach rather than focusing on fastruns and overblowing. With this admirable effort, Anne Drummond comes acrossas a talented instrumentalist and composer who is willing to share the spotlight withher fellow musicians, good advice for any up-and-coming jazz musician.”- AllMusic.com | January 2010

“Drummond’s joy and energy is immediately noticeable and her playing ispassionate throughout. The blend between the pizzicato string line, at the outsetof “Spring,” and the rest of the musicians is intoxicating. Pianist Xavier Davismakes his lone appearance here, providing a touching Egberto Gismonti’s “Frevo”
is three-and-a-half minutes of musical magic; Drummond’s playing is electric, andher blend and chemistry with M ueller is astounding. Drummond is comfortable inher skin and values the group dynamic over the individual.”- All About Jazz | Feb 2010

“She plays a cool refreshing bossa nova that feels great. She was smart tosurround herself with a fine set if musicians. The session is appropriately titled asDrummond’s compositions can be soothing, cleansing, powerful and invigorating,Like Water! Just sit back and enjoy the tide.”- O’s Place | Jazz March 2010

“Aptly titled, flutist Anne Drummond’s debut recording as a leader is an exercisein fluidity, alternating between flowing ballads and surging, uptempo numbers.Drummond shows a great sense of leadership here, her fine technique imbued withspirit and imagination. Delivering this promising concept album as her first effort,one can’t help but wonder where Drummond might go next.”- Jazz Times | March 2010

June of 2010, two of Drummond’s original works premiered at the Schuman festival in Zwickau, Germany, the National Gallery at the Royal Castle in Budapest, and the Gentse Vleugels in Gent, Belgium. Commissioned for a faculty ensemble from the Utah Valley University, this was an instrumentation of oboe, clarinet, violin and piano. Composer David Chesky described the music as “lyrical and haunting… like a Film Noir”.

April 4, 2011 marked the premiere of Drummond’s most recent work, ‘All Souls’ Opus 3 for Wind Quintet. The Alpine Chamber Winds ensemble performed it at the Covey Center for the Arts in Provo, UT, and the Rose Wagner Black Box Theater in Salt Lake City. It was commissioned for the first annual Contemporary Music Symposium.

Seattle bred flutist, pianist and composer Anne Drummond moved to New York in 1999 to study at the Manhattan School of Music, earning a degree in piano performance. Drummond now works primarily as a flutist and composer, touted by Jazz Times magazine as “flute sensation” and steadily works on writing commissions for chamber ensembles.

Drummond’s performances around the world include the Vienna Opera House, Zankel Hall, Kennedy Center, Disney Hall, Massey Hall, BMW Welt, and many other symphony spaces and jazz festivals around the US & Europe. She first garnered international attention in 2001, recording and touring with jazz greats Kenny Barron and Stefon Harris. Over the span of 8 years, she recorded four Blue Note records with Harris, and three records with Barron.

In 2003, she was a featured soloist with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, and has also worked with vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, bassist Avishai Cohen, organist Dr. Lonnie Smith, Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson and Indie-rock’s Bright Eyes. Drummond’s debut recording, Like Water, was released in 2009, receiving considerable radio play on NPR, Sirius and in most local radio stations around the U.S. All About Jazz magazine remarked, “Drummond is a sylph whose lines burrow into the center of the band, embedding her in the middle of each light, ephemeral samba, and become one with the group sound.”

Endorsed by Powell and Sonare flutes, Drummond enjoys her work giving master classes to aspiring flutists. Over the past six years, she served as adjunct faculty in composition at the New School in New York City, coached ensembles at Manhattan School of Music, adjudicated the Washington State Solo and Ensemble competition, and was a featured clinician at the JIMS Salzburg music workshop. As a composer, she undertakes commissions for chamber groups of varying instrumentation; she has also created original pieces for T-mobile national TV commercial spots and independent film shorts.
