TAMMY MCCANN (Website)
Jazz/Blues Vocalist
Noted jazz critic and author Stanley Crouch said of McCann's vocal gifts, "Her pitch is superb, clear on the top and startling on the bottom, while all of the steps in between are polished with swing. She is probably the best singer I've heard since the emergence of Dianne Reeves."
AMBER WEEKES (Song Stylist)
"Pure Imagination" is her new CD. Simply stated, Amber Weekes is a consummate vocal stylist, having absorbed the influences from the likes of Duke Ellington (who enjoyed fried egg sandwiches at the Weekes’ Harlem diner, served up by her father, aunts, and uncle); and other giants of the genre, like Sarah Vaughan, Nancy Wilson, Ella Fitzgerald, and Diahann Carroll, among many others.
SHARON MARIE CLINE (Website)
A jazz vocalist who carries on the smoky-voiced tradition of artists like the great Sarah Vaughn.
"Los Angeles-based songstress Sharon Marie Cline paints her way through a program of classics and original tunes on her new album, 'This Is Where I Wanna Be.' Her phrasing is inventive, often creatively arresting. Her interpretations are molded emotionally and musically rich. This is a voice to be reckoned with."
--Jack Goodstein, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"This is singing like we haven't heard in a long time - from the heart, smooth, reflective and just sensational!"
--Grady Harp, Amazon Music Reviewer
