“it was sheer pleasure to realize the success that Minnesota-reared vocalist and arranger Connie Evingson had when preparing Let It Be Jazz… I was dumbfounded by the style and grace exuded from this recording… Evingson applies bossa nova to "From Me to You," tango to "When I’m 64," and swing to "Blackbird." What is offered is a real mixed bag in the best way. Almost every jazz subgenre is represented.” – All About Jazz, review of Let it Be JazzRecommended for fans of Karrin Allyson, Stacey Kent, John Pizzarelli and Jane Monheit.
