EPISODE 151: Rachel Flowers is recognized worldwide as a multi-instrumentalist and composer whose music encompasses multiple genres. She first gained recognition for her talent as a young child and has been admired and mentored by those at the top of their field: Greg Lake, Keith Emerson, Dweezil Zappa, Conductor Terje Mikkelson, and a series of jazz greats, most notably Herbie Hancock. As a teenager she won numerous awards as a pianist and flutist, and has matured to perform and record on the global stage. The award winning documentary “Hearing Is Believing” was produced about her unusual life and talents. Rachel continues to defy expectations by refusing to be pigeonholed by genre or by instrument. Her classical piano training started when she was only 4 years old. At 9 she discovered jazz and was immediately transfixed by the music of John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, and Ella Fitzgerald. Always an avid listener of rock and pop radio, around that same time her attention was grabbed by the keyboard playing of Keith Emerson of the band Emerson Lake and Palmer. Her new studio album "All That" is out now! instagram.com/rachelflowersmusic
