"If you like June Christy snd Chris Connor, you should really enjoy Joyce Breach's cool jazz style vocals. She improvises lightly and swings gently, backed by 1st rate jazz musicians, her style falls in between jazz and cabaret. This cd is exellent, and is recommended to jazz and vocal fans. All of Miss Breach's Audiphile releases are spectacular."
A real voice!

"OK, there is your Diana Krall, who is apparently trendy. And then there is Joyce Breach, who didn't get trendy, but who my jazz fan uncle and aunt introduced me to...literally, in Pittsburgh, at a gig. They had adored her, and now I do too. Joyce Breach is a singer's singer, a musician's singer. Her voice is an instrument with depth and substance. You can't hear the voice and stay at a remove from her. Her rendition of Blackberry Winter on this CD is simply superb, both musically and emotionally. The CD has some up tempo, some slow tunes, great pacing, so play it several times over and never be bored. An excellent sampling of her substantial talent. Great musicians to back her up. Picture yourself late at night in a small but excellent cabaret, sipping a deeply smoky scotch."
