Synopsis:

Flutist/bandleader/producer Colette Michaan has always lived in the heart of NYC where she was born and raised by immigrant parents from Egypt and Syria. She is intercultural in her origins, history, identity, relations and resonances, and so her music has naturally been informed by many cultures. Colette has always loved how music undeniably engages people across borders. While primarily performing Jazz and Latin music, Colette explores many genres, collaborating with musicians around the world in her extensive travels in Africa, Asia, South America and the Caribbean.

Colette has been performing locally and internationally since the late 1970’s. Her self produced recordings include:

First Cause (2004), Querencia (2010), Incarnate(2014), Heaven & Earth (2017), Earth Rebirth (2023). Each album reflects a milestone in her ongoing process. Her intention is to inspire joy, to move people to feel, enjoy, reflect, to come together and celebrate life!
