This is what the great David Monette said about this wonderful girl..
"On my visit to Jazz at Lincoln Center last weekend Wynton told me I needed to hear this young woman from Venezuela who would be playing with the band for a tune. Wynton had just met her the day before, and he immediately invited her to sit in for the concert. She wanted to try a Monette trumpet when we met, and the only horn I had on the trip was the big RAJA for Terence that I did not want to leave in the hotel room. So knowing Terence's passion for teaching and mentoring students, I let her blow a couple notes on the horn... first time on a Monette mouthpiece or a Monette instrument. Talk about starting out with the best! Then we went to Wynton's office and he had her try his horn, a lighter RAJA III. So Linda's first experience with Monette horns was to play two of the best RAJA's we have ever made - within 15 minutes - and she played up to double C on both horns! Thanks Linda - all the very best to you in your musical endeavors!"
