Quote Excerpts:

“. . . a saucy, curly-haired jazz singer with one foot in tradition and the other in electronics.”

“. . . one-woman rhythm machine”

“. . . all about freedom: exuberant whirlwinds of scatting, a sly, insinuating way with a phrase, or the sudden wistful turn that her delivery of a lyric can take.”

“. . . airy free and irrepressible.”

“. . . huge joy of life. When she sings you feel like she's jumping rope in a school yard. It's so natural!”

“. . . whimsy born of rigor and exactitude.”
