[@juliocesararnedogonzalez5941]

Soy un fan de Melissa desde hace bastan tiempo. Siempre que veo sus videos o escucho sus temas en estas redes de internet, me siento muy gratificado. Su talento es enorme: es un orgullo para todos los músicos latinoamericanos.

Melissa is really amazing. This is just the beginning of her developing as a jazz musician. Certainly her best is about to come. Greetings from Chile!!

[@jimrussell2656]

Fabulous tone & phrasing...love it!😊

[@vtccac]

Way to go, Melissa! Pave the way for younger female jazz instrumentalists!

Good work.

Como buena chilena, lo mejor de lo mejor, excelente Melissa felicitaciones

[@blackauricel]

There's something familiar yet unique about the way she plays. Nostalgic but fresh. She has a long future ahead of her. I'd love to see her collaborate with Robert Glasper or even Herbie Hancock.

[@ustwoalberts]

no waste - all meat - passion harnessed to discipline - grownup stuff with the chutzpah of youth - she has rare quality , i believe

[@alessandrocarreri3910]

Good music!

[@enriqueelgenio]

¿Es idea mía o Melissa se ve con un look "afro" en la carátula del disco? Fuerza y ligereza, como los grandes maestros. Echaba tanto de menos esas cualidades. No tenía ni idea de su existencia y solo por una nota de prensa aparecida hace un par de meses, supe de ella. He estado oyendo lo que parece acá y me ha recordado por qué amo el jazz. Muchas gracias por subir su música. La única fuente de orgullo de haber nacido en Chile.

[@davidsanders1991]

I thought she was african.

[@sergiorouversax]

I'm a rookie at tenor sax, play since two years, and self- taught too. But I'd give a leg to play half of this.

[@kinoglaz777]

It's a phraseology... but then, not so impossible. I didn't have one lesson and playing Mingus since the first day. Now I'm on Sonny Rollins and Coltrane. People have to idealize less and work better on their self exteem. I'll get where I want not giving away anything

[@kinoglaz777]

Yeah, but I think that's not giving away life. It's passing it in the better way!!! ;) Thanx, good luck to you!

[@ronnieanand]

Which leg ?

[@kinoglaz777]

Ahahaha you got it ...

[@alexambroise111]

how have you been progressing since this comment? would love to know

[@michaelmcdermott7349]

I think she might enjoy Aubra Graves.... it would be the young meets the old two exceptional players. Mr.Graves is 90 so she better get to Texas and ask around. :) jazsaxtenor

[@rmoraespinto]

I hear a lot of Mike Turner in Melissa's playing. Nevertheless, I like her best!

[@MrGoogleowns]

yo really? that sh|t was rigged...
