Yeah, I got on okay.
Jazz Times, pfft. Don’t get me started on the fools in the subscription department.

Woman has a beautiful voice, but I can’t listen to the songs.
I get the style she’s going for, but I find the lyrics and the attitude (on her latest release) way too submissive and needy.

The playing is wonderful and the recording is first rate with great instrumental balance and crystal clear sound.
