These days, she maintains a busy schedule teaching at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, recording and performing.  Her latest CD is “Brazilian Footprints”, which spent more than 20 weeks in Jazzweek’s top 50 world chart.

“Veteran saxophonist/flutist Mary Fettig is a name known to many of the great icons in the Latin and jazz corners. Having played with such brilliantly talented luminaries as Tito Puente, Roy Obiedo, Stan Kenton, and Flora Purim, Fettig’s resume is one at which to marvel and behold. Her latest effort, Brazilian Footprints, is a smooth, delicate, and exotic trip to the South American wonderland.

There is such fluidity and tender grace in Fettig’s style that one would have to be absolutely tone deaf or so very outside the realm of good jazz as to not be able to appreciate this quality production. There are tunes for everyone here…”
