“Sweet Lu’ Olutosin is one of the most promising male jazz singers around…. Throughout Meet Me At The Crossroads, Sweet Lu Olutosin provides warm vocals, versatility and subtle creativity. His latest release is well worth exploring and savoring”
~ SCOTT YANOW, Jazz journalist/historian and author of 11 books including “The Jazz Singers” _______________________________________________
“To call Sweet Lu a griot is an understatement. He is a wise sage imparting age old lessons by deftly infusing our cultural history and family values utilizing a tapestry of blues, gospel and jazz that are pure entertainment from beginning to end.”
~ CARL ANTHONY, Jazz Curator, Notoriusjazz.com _______________________________________________
“For this Crossroads meeting Lu has enlisted additional jazz classics to lyricize, including Billy Strayhorn’s sophisticated line “Intimacy of the Blues,” which Lu christens “Sister Sadie’s Blues.”
