"If you check out only one new artist this year, make it Jan Leder. By sheer luck, I learned about this CD from the artist herself via N2K's Jazz Central Station website. Boy am I glad I did! The demise of the label that produced Passage to Freedom has left it largely unavailable in stores. But don't let that deter you. The extra effort you'll need to make to purchase a copy will be well worth it. If you're not sure you like the sound of the flute in jazz, this CD will almost certainly convince you; if you already enjoy jazz flute, you will LOVE this CD. And not only is the flutist talented, so are all the accompanists. I especially enjoy the playing of pianist Jon Davis. In short, Jan Leder is my best artist discovery all year and Passage to Freedom is one of my best CD purchases ever"
