I usually buy based upon customer reviews, but...

"this time I was burned! I could not believe how bad the vocals sounded to me, so I asked a friend to listen; her comments are too unkind to put into print. Suzanne's voice is far from "smooth" or "sultry" - it's grating and often sounds off key. The instrumental tracks are just a relief from listening to that voice... and while I do admit the pianist, Dave Hazeltine is wonderful, and the quartet equally in a groove, they are little compensation for the half of the cd that is unlistenable."

Wonderful woman Jazz Saxophonist

"This is a unique CD in that the featured performer is a marvelous Saxophone player. At times Ms. Grzanna's sound reminds the listener of the late Sonny Criss - sharp and edgy with a clear tone. What takes this recording another level up is the fact that Ms. Grzanna can sing as well as play the saxophone. "As Time Goes By" is given a nice ride as is the title track. Yet, it is the saxophone that shines here, and Ms. Grzanna demonstrates that sex doesn't matter when it comes to fine jazzmanship. Buy this CD and try to obtain her first recording "The Cat's Meow" - you will not be disappointed. Also, the great pianist Dave Hazeltine is featured on both recordings and his playing is creative - and adds flavor to the tunes."
