"Along with Hubert Laws, Holly is frankly the best jazz flute player today." --Phil Woods
"Holly Hofmann is a leading force in changing the perception of jazz flute. While she can interpret ballads with unabashed lyricism she is just as likely to tear through a blues, artfully employing honks and growls." --Andrew Gilbert, Bay Area Jazz Writer
