“No this isn’t the old automatic five stars that pops up whenever certain
favorites of a reviewer come along… This is an album by one of the
few, very few women singing jazz today.” (Dom Cerulli)
DOWN BEAT original review: Pick Yourself Up
“Head and shoulders above any vocal album I’ve heard in recent
months. (Dom Cerulli) |
