Let's make this birthday one to remember.

58 years old (Born on February 17, 1967)

Happy Birthday, Nicole Mitchell! May your day be as vibrant and innovative as the groundbreaking melodies you've gifted us through masterpieces like "Xenogenesis Suite" and "Aquarius." Your flute has not only enchanted our ears but also boldly redefined jazz boundaries—proving once again that flautists truly have more fun!

As the first female president of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, you’ve orchestrated history with grace, humor, and unmatched creativity. Here's to another year filled with improvisation, inspiration—and perhaps a few spontaneous solos in unexpected places. Keep making waves (and notes) because jazz wouldn't swing quite right without you!
