Vanessa "under the guidance of such grandmasters as Barry Harris and Frank Foster, Rubin’s acceptance has been universal. Instrumentalists have always been impressed by her way around a song, her willingness to flow with their muse, and her innate ability to swing that music." has recorded at least 12 CD FAVORITES ON RCA/NOVELL LABELED.
"Among those early gigs were stints with the likes of Kenny Barron, Pharoah Sanders, Lionel Hampton, and the Mercer Ellington Orchestra. These and subsequent affiliations are clear evidence that Rubin is not only singer, but a true musician. Ever the pragmatist, she kept a day job in the New York City school system for a minute, but it was clear that the bandstand would be her ultimate arena"
"The list of great musicians who have graced her recordings and bandstands is quite impressive: Monty Alexander, Cecil Bridgewater, Kenny Burrell, Frank Foster, Billy Higgins, Etta Jones, Lewis Nash, Houston Person, Patience Higgins, Don Braden, Toots Thielemans, Steve Turre, Cedar Walton, Grover Washington, Jr., and James Williams are just a few of the masters who’ve lent their skills to support Ms. Rubin’s artistry. More recently she has completed auspicious global tours with Herbie Hancock, the Woody Herman Orchestra, and the Jazz Crusaders",
" Clearly Vanessa Rubin’s musical skills do not end on the bandstand. She’s not only vocalist, lyricist, and composer, she’s producer, arranger, savvy in artist & repertoire matters, educator (cited for Outstanding Service to Jazz Education by the International Association of Jazz Educators), music business consultant/facilitator, and music student adjudicator engaged by such auspicious institutions as the Thelonious Monk Institute, Jazz at Lincoln Center and the Kennedy Center. Labeled one of the “Diva Nouvelles” by Essence Magazine, Vanessa Rubin continues on a sure and true sojourn towards mastering her craft"
"As a 2011 Kevin Klein Award Nominee for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Musical, Vanessa continues to demonstrate her chameleon like ability extending her gift of storytelling in the one woman theatrical portrayal of the great Billie Holiday in "Yesterdays, An Evening with Billie Holiday", while also interpreting many of Holiday's most remembered songs"
This Diva Nouvelles, I quote ,should be applauded not only for the perfection of her performance, but surley for REMEMBERING FROM WHENCE SHE ROSE.
