Musician

Colette Michaan

A first generation American, Native New Yorker of Egyptian-Syrian heritage, Colette Michaan is a NYC based flutist who has been influenced, inspired and musically informed by music traditions of North and West Africa, Cuba, Southeast Asia, and the Americas.

“I feel like the flute chose me and called me. At the age of 12, I heard an Eric Dolphy recording on the radio and was mesmerized by this flute solo; a seed had been planted. From then on, I immersed myself in listening, studying and transcribing the jazz and latin solos of flute players such as Eric Dolphy, James Moody, Frank Wess, Hubert Laws, Joe Farrell, Yusef Lateef, Arcaño, Richard Egües, José Fajardo, and Johnny Pacheco, who among others, continued to inspire me, as did various flute traditions from all over the world.”

Colette Michaan: Earth Rebirth

Read "Earth Rebirth" reviewed by Katchie Cartwright


Colette Michaan's bamboo flute calls out over a looming drone as Earth Rebirth opens.

Michaan mapped the composition ...
