A flute performance artist, her premiere solo CD, Waltz into Madness was released in January 2012. It features new pieces and arrangements for chamber groups and solo flute, piccolo and alto flute in jazz-inspired, traditional and contemporary genres. Dr. Jelle had a part in the creation of all the pieces on the recording, either through commissioning/premiering each piece, or working with the composer/arranger to create the form of the piece as heard on this playlist. She may also be heard on the Capstone release Resonant Edges, performing Paul Osterfield's Jagged Edges on piccolo, with pianist Diane Frazer.
