Her importance on these recordings, however, can't be overstated: she often provides the textural glue that makes the group gel, and the only reason her fine flute work might not be more obvious is because ...
Vibraphonist Mike Mainieri Interviewed at AAJ...And More!
It's hard to imagine vibraphonist Mike Mainieri in his seventies.
