notes

"In This Moment" is a fantastic recording full of positive vibe and funky smooth jazz and features 10 original tracks with styles ranging from smooth jazz, acid-jazz, and beautiful soulful ballads.

This CD is full of music that will get you grooving and soulful mellow melodies to kick back and relax with.

What's notable about this project is that the lead instrument, the flute... is one that is not always heard in the sax and guitar dominated world of smooth jazz.

Zig Noda's approach to the flute comes from an unconventional musical education. Whereas most flutists are conservatory trained, Zig is primarily a self-taught musician whose love for jazz, r&b, and contemporary music inspires him to interpret emotions through an instrument not usually used in the jazz and smooth jazz arena.

If you love smooth jazz and love the flute, you will love this CD.

Zig's musical background includes performing with musical luminaries such as Harold Todd (sax player for Lenny Kravitz), Artie Webb (legendary Latin Jazz Flutist), Eric Stiller (Los Angeles studio bassist for many artists), and the late Curtis Peagler (sax player for Ray Charles and Count Basie). He also participanted in the first jazz flute masterclass given by virtuoso flutist James Newton in 1999 in addition to receiving a scholarship to the Professional Music Program at the Berklee College of Music, but he never made it to Boston to pursue it.

In addition to playing flute, Zig is a composer and publisher member of ASCAP, and is currently working on recording and freelancing.

*****

"Hopefully the music I write and perform gives enjoyment to those who hear it. If my musical work can bring ease to a hectic day, soothe someone's soul, or bring joy to the heart of someone who listens to it. Then I've done my job properly." - Zig Noda

*****

"In This Moment is pure smooth jazz and the smoothest execution of the flute... Each track is soulful and moves you like no other..."
Peter Su, Programming Director
CIM Radio Smooth Jazz

  • The CD "in this moment" is the best flute CD that I have heard
    author: John Codd

    Greetings from the UK, The CD "in this moment" is the best flute CD that I have heard . The beautiful melodys, beautifully played, are very inspiring. I have found in the past that the flute is drowned out by the accompaniment, or the flautist plays at 1,000 notes a minute to show of his technique! It is a great pleasure to listen to "in this moment", and it has inspired me to get down to some serious practice. Thank you again.

  • Great CD the music is how a flute should sound

    author: CIM Radio Smooth Jazz

    I got your CD, and I have to be quite honest with you, this is the best CD I have ever received so far since I started this career in radio. We have similar moods musically, and if I was to create an album, my music would be very similar to yours...those words are straight from what I truly feel about your music. You know, it is not every day that I receive CDs that I truly can listen to over and over again, so "In This Moment" is truly a treasure of mine now and will be remembered for years to come.
