“She sent takes that would make Oscar Peterson jealous. I dropped them into the mix and the song came to life.” – Joe Kelly of the Kelly Song Collective
“Her magical playing on the piano perfectly matched the romantic ambiance of the night.” – Rubi Karuna
“While she’s able to match Guaraldi’s delicate touch on the ivories, she can also brew a solo like Brubeck… She has Vince’s dexterity and Brubeck’s fire, mating them with her own style.” – Edward Mowinkel of YaLikeJazz.net.
