* There are only a handful of flute players with varying musical backgrounds from Latin jazz to the so-called "underground." Hard work has brought Lenny Mac Dowell international renown for his multifaceted gift of transforming music through the sound of the flute. * Here, Mac Dowell explores the concept of embedding the flute as a classical instrument in a pop environment. How to connect flute sounds with funk and soul? How does one's own culture find its way into such an environment? * For his eighth release, Mac Dowell once again collaborated with some old friends, all first-class musicians. Get Ready was recorded in four different studios and moves stylistically through groovy, jazzy, soulful, funky styles. * A mix of electro with live instrumentation, this album features special guest Christoph Spendel on keys.
