Her commitment to "push the envelope" has led to collaborations with Kenny Wheeler, Charlie Haden, Rufus Reid, Matt Wilson, Bobby Previte and Fred Hersch. She’s an eight-time winner of the Jazz Journalists Award for Soprano Saxophone, 2014 Downbeat Critics Poll for soprano sax and recipient of the prestigious Guggenheim fellowship.
