What Others Are Saying...
"Energetic... Lovely... Very Nice..."
-John Chacona. Erie Daily Times
"Beautiful, adult jazz!"
-Matt Bokulic, Jazz Pianist, composer
"Fans of Valerie's exciting saxophone playing will
find that, and a lot more to enjoy on "Once Again".
You'll find she's equally talented as a vocalist, and Rick
Steuart's impressive arrangements and the fine playing by
all involved take Valerie's music to a new level -- Don't
miss it!"
-Bob Seymore, WUSF 89.7
"Don't let her diminutive size fool you- she is a
musical tigress. She will take you on a musical safari reaching
all corners of the jazz world. From the up-beat "Alice
in Wonderland" to the spiritual "Amazing Grace",
she is an artist admired and respected."
-Jimmy Lyons,
President, Tampa Bay Jazz Society |
