Album Reviews

"Lesley -- I had to get in touch today (albeit briefly) to tell you how thrilled I was to be on the receiving end of your latest CD. I absolutely love it. Your CD is fabulous. And your lips are pretty darn fab too! Joyous rendition after joyous rendition, I was pleasantly surprised with the uniqueness of each approach but you never strayed too far from what makes a standard special to us music geeks. You know what I mean, disco beats under "Attend the Tale of Sweeney Todd" aside -- some people think innovative translates as "unrecognizably wigged out" -- there is innovation and a breath of fresh air in nuance. You've cornered the market on nuance! Thanks again, so much!"

— Melissa Martin,vocalist, band leader Mighty Rhythm Kings, PA

"In a world with a compendium of female singers, once in awhile one comes along who can turn you around. Jazz singer Lesley Byers & jazz crew are inveterate interpreters of our beloved American Songbook & both her song choices and vocal delivery fall smack-dab within the mainstream. The group's combined virtuosic delivery varies from vocal-instrumental rhythmic & harmonic interludes to traditional swing, bringing to bear the influences of those that have preceded the group. This isn't to take away from Lesley & the group's personal musical contribution in real time…..Only to suggest that they've learned their craft well while standing on the shoulders of those who have preceded them. As for Lesley & her vocalise, she exudes a delicate tone with an interesting yet floating feeling particularly on ballads, & I feel that she will emerge as one of our most promising young jazz singers of our era."

— George W. Carroll, EJazzNews.Com, 1/06

" Hey Diva...I was so excited to listen to it and it is SPECTACULAR!!! ...Your singing is as wonderful as ever, so effortless & intimate and you manage to convey a smile in your delivery which makes it like a live performance if you shut your eyes, I love that! You are such a Diva in the Bette Midler happy/sassy/entertaining Diva way...oh, and I lOVE that you did some scatting on this album - Great work Lesley! Excellent choice on the trio, they enhanced your performance perfectly. I'm so excited that you are doing this great work and I wish you every possible success! Raves & Raves!"

— Deidre Fellner, vocalist & leader, The Whole of Soul, 2/07

"Lesley, the CD is beautiful. Your voice is so clear and angelic that it really was an experience for me and the arrangements are great. You did yourself proud. Thank you for representing in the true way."

— , Yvonne Gage, vocalist, 4/06
