Flutist, vocalist, and songwriter, Ragan Whiteside is taking the Contemporary Jazz world by storm. With her unique style and soulful vibe, this triple threat is bringing the flute back into mainstream focus. Her music crosses the boundaries of Smooth and Contemporary Jazz and New Soul. Her third album ‘Quantum Drive’ is possibly her most accomplished to date, and is a crowd funded project. She is joined by Patrice Rushen, Bob Baldwin , Frank McComb and Althea Rene on this set. Patrice Rushen accompanies Ragan on a nice vocal version of her own ‘Remind me’. Frank McComb adds his keyboard genius to ‘Smokey Room’. ‘Gentle Touch’ is a nice laid back vocal track, and ‘Soul Biscuit’ has that 60’s Soul/Jazz feel to it. Nice album
