- My name is Jamie Baum and I'm a jazz flutist,
and I live in New York City.
And some people might think that being a jazz flutist,
I just play in clubs every night
from nine to two in the morning.
And that is part of what I do.
But as a freelance musician
and someone who lives in New York City,
I do a lot of touring and performing in other countries.
I also compose and I write music for my own group
and for other people.
I do some teaching, I play in other groups
and I do a lot of different kinds of freelance.
Sometimes some classical, different styles of music,
whatever is becomes available to me
and whatever keeps me interested in the music.
