“Catch Carmen. In a world of pretenders, she’s a genuine jazz singer.” – J. Massarik, London Evening Standard

“That Lundy is one of the outstanding jazz singer-songwriters of her (or any) age is beyond debate.” - Christopher Loudon, JazzTimes

“Her abundant range and sinewy tone make her the kind of pure singer whose voice not only inhabits lyrics but is an instrument ready to swing.” – Siddhartha Mitter, Boston Globe

“Carmen Lundy, a beguiling vocalist who deserves wider recognition…” – New Yorker Magazine

For her legion of fans, the release of a new Carmen Lundy CD represents more than an opportunity to hear new music – it's an appointment to catch up with a dear friend. Join us in celebration!
